FSU Bullpen

The lack of depth, experience, and ability to throw strikes hampered the FSU bullpen all season. They are why FSU lost a few games, but they showed up in a few games this season. The biggest difference between the FSU bullpen-blowing games against Clemson and Wake Forest and now? FSU head coach Link Jarrett has done a great job finding who he can trust and has a set lineup he goes to nowadays. It's not a deep lineup, but the way the format of the CWS works, the day off will allow a bullpen pitcher time to recover more than the format of the regionals and Super Regionals.


Brennen Oxford and Conner Whittaker would be my top arms from the bullpen. John Abraham, Joe Charles, and Connor Hults could have a place in certain situations. However, we've seen Jamie Arnold go 6+ innings and Brennen Oxford finish the final two innings before. I feel good about a Jamie Arnold to Brennen Oxford or Conner Whittaker transition to finish the game against Tennessee.
