Casan Evans was electric tonight against No. 7 Oklahoma, a much-needed effort to help break the Tigers out of skid. Evans went 7.2 innings and struck out 15, both career bests. He was up to 96 on his 110th pitch.

Tristan Bissetta is 4-for-7 with four home runs this week after his second shot of the evening against Kentucky. That’s 13 bombs on the year for the red-hot @OleMissBSB senior, who hit just 10 home runs in 86 games from 2023-25.

These are absurdly monster numbers. Better than a few World Series games numbers.

Weekend 6 will be another busy one with a top-five clash in the SEC, a few intriguing ACC series, potentially pivotal series in the Big 12 and Big West and much, much more. What I'm watching this weekend across the country: baseballamerica.com/stories/colleg…

The pride of @BearkatsBSB. A snippet of his @BaseballAmerica draft report from 2024: “He receives at a high level and presents the ball with a comfortable and athletic setup—and he’s adept in a one-knee stance… has soft, deft hands and centering ability while blocking.”
JJ Cooper@jjcoop36

This is a very geeky video for the catching nuts. If you want to see how catchers frame low pitches and throw from one-knee setups, this Astros C Walker Janek cut-up illustrates both well IMO. Sets the target, takes the mitt down, and then brings it up to catch the ball.

Chubb Jones Jr., Baseball America’s No. 7 player in the 2027 class, has flipped his commitment to Alabama. RHP/SS is 6-foot-4 with an electric fastball up to 97 mph, a swing-and-miss slider, high-end athleticism and plus speed.

Liam Peterson’s 5-walk outing vs. UAB feels like noise. Since: 1.64 ERA, 41 K, 9 BB in 22 IP. He’s using his CB 10% of the time in '26 (3% in ’25). CB and SL pair for a ridiculous 63% whiff rate. Still some release-point drift on the SL, but the stuff is filthy. FB-CB overlay:

Ben Blair's draft stock is climbing. The @LibertyBaseball RHP owns a 1.91 ERA, 39.3% K% and 2.8% BB% (28.1 IP). FB is up 1.5 mph from last year with big run and generating a 30% miss rate compared to 17% in '25. Going to a mid-80s cutter about twice as much as last year, too.

Couple notes from Chip Hale: 1. RHP JT Drake is out for the season. Arizona had hoped he'd be able to come back from an arm issue, but it's not happening. That makes four season-ending or possibly season-ending injuries for the Wildcats' bullpen.

There was a lot to unpack from this week’s @BaseballAmerica Top 25, which saw four new teams enter, the most since Week 12 of the 2024 season, and the reigning national champs exit for the first time since 2024. Explaining every decision we made here: baseballamerica.com/stories/explai…

Brian O’Connor said that Ace Reese left the game out of precaution. He’s walking around fine and has ice on his foot. O’Connor isn’t concerned.
