Alex Meyer, Cory Hahn, Kevin Gausman, Pratt Maynard, Johnny Pants

•Kentucky and Georgia both ended up starting the season with identical 0-3 records. Kentucky ended up blowing a great starting pitching performance from Alex Meyer who went seven innings giving up three hits, three walks and two runs as he struck out 13 batters. Meyer topped out at 100 according to sources at the game while sitting around 97 all game - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2011/02/21/foleys-quick-hits-for-feb-20th  







Multiple sources have confirmed to College Baseball Daily that Cory Hahn suffered a C-5 fracture of his spinal cord. For comparison’s sake, former Boston University hockey player Travis Roy suffered a fracture between his C-4 and C-5 vertebrae. The doctors will not know the status of Hahn’s spinal cord until after the swelling goes down from the surgery he underwent on Sunday night. He is expected to spend the next five-ten days in the ICU. - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2011/02/20/arizona-states-cory-hahn-hospitalized  










•Highly regarded freshman Kevin Gausman had his college debut on Saturday afternoon for the LSU Tigers against Wake Forest. He had a rough first two innings giving up a run in each inning but settled down as he finished giving up two runs in 5.2 innings while striking out six batters. - http://www.collegebaseballdaily.com/2011/02/20/foleys-quick-hits-for-feb-19th  






It was an impressive opening day for N.C. State and first baseman Pratt Maynard. Maynard led the Wolfpack as they stormed past in-state foe Elon 17-5. Maynard finished the contest 3-for-4 with a double, three runs and five RBIs. The Wolfpack couldn’t have asked for a better start to an important season. - http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=5266  






(Alex) Panteliodis doesn’t fall into the camp of those that looked as though they hit the weight room hard, as he’s a little soft through the mid-section, but is far from what you would label a ‘hefty lefty.’ He too elevates his fastball, and gets a lot of the strike zone. He gave up double-digit home runs a year ago, and gave up another in his one inning of work. He doesn’t throw particularly hard, but he commands the strike zone well. He also repeats his delivery and overall mechanics pretty well, and isn’t afraid to challenge hitters with his fastball. - http://www.5tooltalk.com/2011-notes-2-20-11.html
