Matthew Dallas in the portal

[Ttucke11]

Does Dallas have a pro arm?

Scouting reports last year say yes. His control and command need a lot of work, but he's definitely a developmental draft pick I would say.

The timing seems to be a bit of a distraction (right before the finals).... may have been in the works for a while but why not wait until next Monday. Probably reading too much "look at me" into it IDK

Sad….no comment

“sad” is a comment

There was bound to be someone feeling a certain type of way if they didn’t make the CWS roster. Rooting for him as long as he doesn’t join a SEC team. If he does that then I cannot consciously root for him or that team.

It wasn’t a surprise. So, I don’t think the timing will affect anything.

Good luck to Matthew Dallas doesn't matter what school he transfers to.

If he needs to work on his control AND command then he must be a long ways from getting there....

Yes he does, but MLB teams see 6'5 lefty throwing 90+ with some movement and they think they can teach the other stuff.

Randy Johnson different have the greatest control in his early years in MLB.

My point which I guess I failed to convey was that command and control are the same thing. Or am I missing something?

When they go in the portal does that mean they're off the team at that moment

He will likely end up at another SEC school, as of now.

Championship secured. Can we now turn our attention to keeping this kid on campus?

Kid, what are you doing? This place gives you a platform like no other. Do your thing. Best pitching coach in America… biggest platform in America…

Thought it was done and he was headed to SCjr? Having said that, the opportunity was certainly there for him. Just seems odd that he'd move on like this. Must be a comfort thing.

Frank Anderson isn't for everyone. It is what it is. He'll do wonders with some kids, and then others don't care for his approach. Can't please everyone, but we'll get the ones who want to be here and thru 7 seasons, we've been successful with the ones who want to be here.
