■ Oklahoma State pitcher Andrew Oliver was reinstated by a judge after previously being suspended due to confusion over contact with advisers/scouts, according to Rivals.com.
■ The Daily Texan has a story about fresh arms leading the Longhorns.
“We have a lot of new arms that can throw. These guys are quality pitchers,” said relief pitcher Keith Shinaberry. “We have really learned that we have a bunch of guys who can get thrown in there and get the job done.”
The new guys — freshman pitchers Taylor Jungmann, Sam Stafford, Andrew Kirahan and Austin Dicchary — will give the Longhorns more depth.
To prepare for the season, Texas pitchers — all of them — are focusing on being able to pitch five innings. With a starting rotation and bullpen identities yet to be established, the Longhorn pitchers are focusing on maximizing their depth and having the most options ready for the long season.
“I hadn’t pitched five innings since my senior year of high school,” Shinaberry said. “But it is good work. We have to work on getting out of jams. And we weren’t able to do that too well last year.”
■ MadFriars.com has an interview with Cory Luebke, a Padres prospect, in which Luebke mentions a Mizzou alum:
I learned a lot from watching Nathan Culp (MU 04-06) this year. He is smart - hard in and soft away. I took a lot away from that. I got to watch him throw a lot of innings. Seeing a guy like that - you learn.
