3. Thomas Eshelman must be the pitcher of the day …

Cal State Fullerton’s Thomas Eshelman (Shotgun Spratling)

Eshelman might wind up being the pitcher of the year, too, because he never has a bad outing. Even when he loses, he only gives up a run or two, and no pitcher in college baseball can match his superb command. He was at his very best on Friday, striking out a career-high 14 and walking one in a five-hit shutout against an explosive Texas Tech offense that had outscored its opponents 85-45 heading into the weekend. Eshelman (2-2, 1.23 with 39 strikeouts and four walks in 29.1 innings) smothered the Red Raiders with strikes, as is his way: He threw 119 pitches, and 89 of them were strikes. (For the sake of comparison, Fulmer threw 112 pitches over 6 1/3 innings, and only half of them—56—were strikes. Two pitchers could not be more different stylistically, but both are extremely effective and fun to watch.)

Spratling detailed Fullerton’s offensive improvement in a great piece leading into the weekend, and the Titans continued to rap out hits Friday, tallying 10 hits in a 4-0 win. Jake Jefferies and A.J. Kennedy led the way, combining to go 7-for-7 with three RBIs.

4. … Unless Andrew Moore was the pitcher of the day.

Oregon State’s junior ace righthander did not match Eshelman’s shutout, but he did hold Fresno State to just a run on three hits and a walk while striking out 10 over 10 innings, and the Beavers won it 2-1 on K.J. Harrison’s walk-off homer in the 11th. Moore was even more efficient than Eshelman, throwing just 112 pitches over his 10 innings of work (81 for strikes). Moore sometimes seems to fly under the radar, but he is similar stylistically to Eshelman—both have good command of solid four-pitch repertoires that include fringe-average fastballs, and both pound the strike zone. Moore is now 1-0, 1.76 with 31 strikeouts and three walks in 30.2 innings this season.

Harrison, meanwhile, might be the leading candidate for national Freshman
over 4 1/3 innings.
