Three scoreless innings on 34 pitches so far for @NCStateBaseball righty Jacob Dudan, who's sitting 94-95 mph and pitching to contact effectively (7 GO/1 FO). Some great plays behind made him, particularly by 3B Wyatt Peifer.
After starring in a stopper role over his first two seasons, Jacob Dudan (@DudanJacob) appears set to become a starter for @NCStateBaseball.
"If Dudan winds up in the rotation as expected, NC State should have a weekend rotation that can match up with anybody in the country."
After posting a 3.38 ERA with 91 strikeouts against 19 walks in 85.1 innings last year, look for Ryan Marohn (@RyanMarohn21) to make a run at All-America honors in 2026.
The @NCStateBaseball junior is a true four-pitch lefty with true feel for his curveball, slider and changeup.
“Ultimately, you’ve got to do what’s best for the team, but Jacob wanted an opportunity to start and we’re going to give him that opportunity to start.”
