I just love this guy. I am so glad he decided to stick around for his senior year. (I never doubted that he would.) I love his attitude, his love of life and of the game, his humor, his passion for all things Beaver Nation. I hope they continue to do these videos. It shows what fun it is in the Beaver locker room.
Thank you, Matt!

Thanks for posting Matt. I've wondered why they haven't maximized his talent and ability to play multipe positions and hit. He started in a variety of positions his freshmen year and was a heck of a hitter.
Alan Simpson has him rated as the number 3 draft prospect for Seniors.

I've wondered the same thing. When he burst on the scene as a freshman, he was equally good with the bat as with the pill. But I can understand specializing as a pitcher, if that's what they thought he was best at. But they haven't used him as much as I have wanted. Not as a pitcher nor as a pinch hitter. I want to reward guys with the attitude he has. Give him th pill. Put him in as a pinch hitter occasionally. That would have to give opposing pitchers a raised eyebrow here and there tp see OSU's closer or late relief guy batting in a "must get a base hit" situation late in a game.

I loved him initially because my favorite pitcher will always be the one who is his own DH. Also makes him a commodity for the NL.
