Boom! #1 player in Ohio for 2021 LHP Gavin Bruni (Alliance) committed to Ohio St today! It’s exciting to see all these guys committing but actually getting them on campus is the real fight. Lonsway made it known he was gonna be hard to sign and fell in the draft because of it. Not sure we’ll...
In terms of RPI, Might be the worst loss in college baseball this year. Top RPI 30 teams don’t lose at home to teams with a RPI of 290.
Unfortunately I was there to see it...reminded of that Northern Kentucky game a few years ago. NKU was like 2-20 and dominated for 7 innings with a LHP with...
I was hoping at least one of these games would get canceled. This series is already gonna ding our RPI even with a sweep, but a home loss to G’town would be a killer. Don’t like that they are throwing at least two lefty starters either. The way we’ve struggled against LHP over the years, I...
Should point out that the Bucks landed the #1 player in Ohio in 2017 (Lonsway). They also have commitments from the #1 in 2019 and 2020. Joey Velazquez OF (DeSales) and McKenzie Wainwright OF (St Ed’s) respectively. Can’t recall a run like that on #1 guys in Ohio for us. I’m tellin ya that...
Lol @ my enthusiasm in this thread. Ohio State Baseball is back, folks!
Couldn’t embed this so here’s a link to Our 2018 class. Top 40 nationally per Perfect Game and Baseball America.

Thanks Brody! I used to post here on the baseball forum a lot, but I just completely forgot about this place. Until recently, I haven’t posted on Buckeye planet in probably 3 or 4 years. Which is weird cuz this is like the only place there is to talk Baseball. There was also a great twitter...
For what it’s worth, yes I do. I think MIF guys are generally more versatile than corner OF type guys. Over recruit MIF and hopefully a couple of those guys stick plus you’ve got depth and more versatility.
It just seems like we miss a lot on 3B and MIF especially when it comes to defense...
Took a big step in that direction by finally getting Brady Cherry off the field. Hate to dump on the guy but he’s fielding about .850 over his career. Much better defensively with West at SS and Foppe at 2B. We’re just gonna hafta deal with Pohls defensive issues at 3B.
Noticed Beals is...
Was really looking forward to this one cuz dropping that game to EMU after we just beat So Miss was a real kick in the stones, but of course it has been canceled due to impending weather. The Bucks added a game with Youngstown to make up for it.
Not crazy about adding a game with a team...
Our starting pitchers help these guys to 6 earned runs in 3 games....very encouraging. CSUN was top 10 in pretty much every offensive category coming into this series.
Feltner's 6 2/3 Sunday was the longest outing of any starting pitcher this year. Per Burke Granger, he was still sitting 93...
Northridge can rake. Maybe the chilly temps Friday and Saturday will help slow their bats. Not many guys on their roster have played games with temps in the 30s and 40s.
Off topic and I apologize but Meatchicken just dropped their home opener to NAIA Lawrence Tech. It was not an exhibition.
We gripe about Beals and rightfully so, but Bakich hasn’t done much with some pretty epic recruiting classes. The class he just brought in is widely considered the best in...
Great road series sweep that really boosted our RPI. Up from mid 80’s to mid 40’s.
Wilmington gifted us a lot of runs. It was nice to see an opponent have a clown show on the infield for a change.
Overall I think we pitched pretty well and it was encouraging to see Austin Wooby finally...
No sir. Who da thunk it.
High Point jumped nearly 100 spots in RPI thanks to their excellent showing.
Coastal can really hit and run but that bullpen...woof. They blew 3 leads after 7 innings.
Freakin High Point Beat beat Coastal again today! So the weekend shook out with High Point going 3-1, tOSU 2-2, CC 1-3
Great bounce back after getting walked off by CC Saturday. Nate Romans and Dingler had their first Buckeye HRs this weekend...pretty decent lefty righty DH platoon with...
15 more Ks today. Bucks are hitting nearly .400 when they put the ball in play this year.
Putting the ball in play has been a problem for years. Under Beals we’ve set and broken the B1G team strikeout record 3 times. Nearly did it a 4th time last year and likely would have if they’d made the...
Jordan McDonough (St. Xavier) has committed to the good guys. He's the top rated catcher in Ohio for the 2014 class. That gives us 3 of the top 10 in Ohio for 2014.
Yep..nice rebound win. Greve was sharp..7IP 7ks 1 BB 2ER
And so was Fath...1.1 IP 3Ks 0BB
On the flip side...Armstrong 0.2IP 3BB 5R 0ER 1WP
In fairness to Armstrong, the runs were unearned, but he did give up a HR and was wild. He continues to struggle throwing strikes.
Good to see Mike...
