Thought I would start a post since it’s officially , Vandy Week , D1 baseball has Evan listed as the 21st overall Catcher in D1 baseball.
7th in the SEC. Article said they would re-visit the rankings in 6 weeks. You can read the article in D1 baseball
I wanted to give my comments about his catching in regards to what I see. I personally have watched Ol Miss , Arky and Vanderbilt’s Catchers and I personally think he’s right there with them. What makes this very interesting is he’s not had very much time back there.
I would also comment on how he’s done with the High Velocity guys. The 3 starters all being around 95 , has to be a challenge to catch around 300 pitches a weekend.
I went back and looked at the SEC numbers and he’s right in there with the leaders. I also took in consideration Dollander’s , delivery to the plate and his numbers are right in line there as well when you deduct Dollander’s stolen bases . 1 error and that was a catchers indifference, a lot of people on this board where concerned about the catching position at start of the season but the Vols are 24-1 , 6-0 in the SEC. I don’t think this team would be ranked #1 for the first time in the programs History with a weakness at one of the main positions. The Catcher touches the ball the second most during a game. 2 pass balls on the year. That’s right at the top in the SEC.
I first seen Evan behind the plate at Chattanooga and Memphis in the Fall and I was impressed at first look. But as I have followed the team this year , he has quietly been doing a great job and seems to be getting better each week. Really remarkable really…. With this being Vandy Week , I hope Evan has another game of his life because the Saturday’s game of the Vandy series is one I will never forget. What a day it was to be In That stadium…..
I guess I read and heard talk shows talk about his abilities and I don’t think any of those negative comments where warranted when actually I personally think he should be commended for the job he’s done…
one would have to wonder if his name has crossed any of Vandy’s players minds lately , when he hit that grand slam last year they where raTTled to say the least…..
Best words out of Chris Burke’s mouth … no way, no way , commentator: “he’s done it”
Chris “the hat trick”
would someone post that video so all
Us Vol fans can enjoy until Fridays game gets here
Go Vols - the #1 team in the Country!!! beat Vandy!!!
