'18 IN SF Aaron Henry (Michigan State Verbal)

i don't think osu will end up in henry's top 2; however, from a pure talent/playmaking/scoring perspective, the only target i want more than henry is muhammad. and that may just be because aaron isn't a guard. henry is an elite-level threat whether penetrating, pulling up, or posting up. he also hits the boards as well as any small forward out there. the assist game is strong, too. in short, henry is absurdly underrated with a composite of 197th. i'd see no issue whatsoever ranking him in the top 50, if not the top 35. whoever gets him is getting a star.
henry playing like a guy whose ranking of 197th (finished at 141st) made no sense.

Mid-Week game vs. Toledo from Nick Swisher Field @ Bill Davis Stadium (FIRE BEALS)

Ohio State Baseball beats Toledo in a mid-week home contest

By: Phil Harrison |
The Ohio State baseball team played one more midweek non-conference tuneup, as it hosted in-state opponent Toledo Wednesday.

Dominica Canzone was the star offensively today for the Buckeyes. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and four RBIs to pace the Ohio State at the plate. Zach Dezenzo also had a home run and three RBIs for the Bucks who won going away 9-4.

The Buckeyes got on the board early with some help from Toledo in the bottom of the first inning. Thanks to a wild pitch and a dropped ball at first on a third strike, OSU used two hits to score two runs to get out in front by a couple early.

The Rockets came back in the top of the second with a two out, two-run single to tie the game at 2 a piece. But then Ohio State exploded for four runs in the bottom of the second inning with most of the damage being done by Zach Dezenzo on a 3-run bomb. OSU would add three more runs throughout the game, and that would be more than enough.

Staring pitcher Jake Vance got a quality outing for the win, throwing six innings of three run baseball, giving up eight hits, while striking out six and walking two. It is is second win of the year for the right-hander.

Ohio State will now hit the road for a three game Friday to Sunday series at Rutgers as Big Ten play starts to dominate the schedule.

P Zach Farmer (R.I.P.)

Former Redstreaks, Ohio State baseball player Zach Farmer honored with monument at Piketon

PIKETON – For anyone who knew former Piketon and Ohio State baseball player Zach Farmer, they described him as a fierce competitor when he was on the mound. Off the mound, however, was another story.

“Zach had the really fortunate ability to be fun-loving and to be a nasty competitor, which is a combination that is really critical to be a great baseball player because it’s a tough game,” said Ohio State head baseball coach Greg Beals. “For us we have three-game series, so you pitch one day and you sit and watch two games. So, you’re watching two-thirds of the time so that fun-loving helped him through that but when it came time to compete he was really tough.”

Piketon baseball honored Farmer, who passed away in 2015 after battling leukemia, as they unveiled a monument at their baseball field on Saturday before opening their season against Meigs.

.............

There’s just no words for it, just no words right now for this,” Larry said.

Farmer had a legendary career for the Redstreaks. He was first team All-Ohio three times, honorable mention All-Ohio once, a three-time All-American, was third in Ohio High School Athletic Association history in overall record as it sat at 36-7, was second in OHSAA history in career strikeouts with 599, No. 10 in OHSAA history in ERA with a 0.84 career ERA, and he was No. 22 in career batting average at the plate, hitting .505.

Professional teams pursued Farmer and he played fall baseball on a scout team for the St. Louis Cardinals, but he ultimately committed to play baseball at Ohio State.

Farmer had 10 appearances for the Buckeyes as a freshman in 2014 before first being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in April 2014. He went 6-4 with a 3.28 ERA in those 10 appearances that included nine starts and 34 strikeouts in 49.1 innings pitched.

After a successful treatment, Farmer went into remission on June 6, 2014 before announcing that the disease returned in July of 2015. He later passed away on Aug. 4, 2015.
