What’s up with Walsh and Clark? Walsh kicked ass at the end of last year and Clark didn’t seem too terrible in his outings this year.
Walsh had 1 kick ass outing last year and it was Michigan State in the B1Gt. He had a choice after the 2023 season. Keep messing around with 2way or focus on pitching. He chose the mess around part. It's difficult to pitch at this level, especially as a weekend starter, with velo between 85-88 & only 2 pitches; FB & CH. He's better suited long term as a midweek starter and a weekend match-up.
Clark just isn't good enough. Yet. His FB is flat, he's afraid to compete against another team. He's had 7 starts in his young career and has made it past the 4th inning just 1 time. That's bad. Give him the ball during the week and see if he can get the mental side figured out. Similar to Walsh, he's a weekend match-up from the bullpen and a weekday starter. For now.
We have to give someone else a chance on Sunday's. With our bullpen structure, all we need is 5 innings on Sunday and anything after that is gravy. Otherwise, it's going to hurt us during weekday games.
