A tip of the cap to Joey Brenczewski!
Since 2005 (last 20 seasons), there have been three 7-RBI days from IU hitters. He’s the first freshman to do so.
Lloyd - at Maryland (2019)
Ellis - at Missouri State (2022)
Brenczewski - vs. Penn State (2024)
Jonathan Santucci (lhp, Duke Baseball). 94 pitches | 58% strikes | 22 whiffs. Just 8 FPS in 20 batters faced, but showed put-away stuff.

FB: 90-94 (92.1) | 2222 | 62% usage | 14 s/m
SL: 80-83 (81.4) | 2135 | 15% | 3 s/m
CH: 85-88 (86.5) | 23% | 5 s/m
The #7 Duke Baseball tied it in the 8th, took the lead with a Devin Obee SAC Fly in the top of the 9th, and Charlie Beilenson shuts the door in the bottom half to sweep the DH and secure the series.
.Pitt Baseball righthander Jack Sokol has held Duke to two runs on two hits thru seven IP with seven punch outs. Pitt leads 3-2 heading to the 🔽7️⃣. Got stronger as game went along. Sequencing 89-91 mph FB, low-80s slider.
Landon Beidelschies (lhp, Ohio State Baseball). Solid against Iowa tonight. Used tempo as part of arsenal. 🧀

You may not know about Lucas Letsinger, but I bet the Ball State Baseball Jr. rhp is on a few spreadsheets of metric-centric baseball folks. First year at D1 level; two different breaking balls w/ 3000+ spin.
FB: 89-92 (90.4) | 2353 spin
CB: 74-76 (75.0) | 3170
SL: 78-82 (78.7) | 3055
A few open swings from Zach MacDonald (CF, Miami Baseball), a toolsy athlete who’s slashing .353/.487/.655 with 9 SB, 9 HR and has cut his K% from 31.3% to 22.5%.
Monster week for Wright State Baseball catcher Sammy Sass. After hitting .588 with nine RBIs as the Horizon League hitter of the week, he goes 4-for-4 with four homers against Miami (OH) today. Here’s a couple RBI knocks from Saturday.
Some open-swings from Andrew Patrick (CF, Wright State Baseball) who’s working his way back from a broken hand sustained in late February. Timing was off in this one (second game back); key for the Raidergang to get him back early in conference play.
