I know Austin very well. I know his mother, father, and even his sister. You are right that he throws very hard, but bc you throw hard doesn't make you dominant. I like him and think he is a good kid. Very quiet and polite boy and I hope I'm wrong and your right because he is such a good kid. IMO however he is not dominant and the reason being it's to easy to rattle him and get in his head. 1-2 bad pitches could cost him a ball game where it didn't Wallen. As was said before I guess we will see shortly.

Wallen as a senior, yes. Wallen as a Junior, not so much. That's what I'm saying. His stats from his freshman and sophomore years were better than Wallen's at that same time. Bailey can be dominant. Will he? Don't know. But he has all the tools to be that #1. And for those who think LC is low on pitching, well I wouldn't be saying that. They have some pretty dang good arms that didn't need to pitch a lot last year because of Wallen, Cavins, and Bailey. The only thing is that they are unproven, but logged a lot of innings this summer. Look for Keesee, Turner, Coverdale (all juniors) to get a lot of innings. Salyers and Cantrell (seniors) also will get a lot of innings. People forget that Cantrell was invited to the sophomore showcase 2 seasons ago. He had a very solid sophomore season. He has bounced back from his rehab and will be a big addition to this year's staff and lineup every day.
