Team Sheet: Missouri

Colton Olinger

Players Featured: Luke Mann, Chandler Murphy, Ross Lovich, Dylan Leach, Zack Franklin,

Break Down: Missouri walked away from the 2023 College showdown with a good taste in their mouths after they picked up back to back wins on days two and three to finish the weekend 2-1. After dropping a close game on opening day, the offense came to life Saturday and Sunday to back a pitching staff that found a way to keep enough runs off the board for wins over two teams that project to be in the thick of the Big 12 Championship race.

The top of the order really put the Tiger's offense in drive all week as they were able to consistently put runs on the board when they were given a chance. Luke Mann led the way from the lead off spot but guys like Taylor Chick and Ross Lovich also came through in big spots, showing some power as well as their ability to consistently find the barrel as a solid 1-2-3 in the order.

On the mound Game 1 starter Chandler Murphy got off to a bumpy start but was followed by lefties Ian Lohse and Javin Pimental who both gave the club three innings while dealing with some spotty command. Both Lohse and Pimental were able to work around some of the traffic though and come up with big outs to keep their team in it.

Best Player: On the mound the best stuff as well as performance came from Zach Franklin as the graduate transfer from Western Carolina made two appearances with a big three scoreless innings against TCU on Sunday night. He also showed one of the better fastballs running it up to 95 mph and mixing in the breaking ball off of that.

Offensively Luke Mann did it all for the Tigers. The lead off man showed barrel accuracy and power as his ability to get his barrel on the ball was more than impressive. Mann has a very short swing path to the point of contact and displayed an above average amount of strength in the contact zone as the ball really jumps off the barrel to the pull side.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 24
It’s far better to be on a hot streak at the end of the season rather than the beginning of the year. As a result the three teams spotlighted with the latest rankings are in a perfect position for a deep postseason run.

College Player, Pitcher of the Week
Ryan Gallagher of UC Santa Barbara threw a complete game shutout and leads the Gauchos staff into the Top-25 while Tennessee's Christian Moore went 9-for-15 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI.

College Top 25: April 22
Well, here we go folks, we have one month left in the regular season and things continue to get more unpredictable on the national landscape. We are seeing some new clubs making statements out west and non-Power 5s on the east coast continuing to jockey for post-season host consideration.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
