Noah Bieniek (Bee-Nick)(@NoahB77_):All six starting pitchers that have been used by the teams in the College World Series Finals were recruited out of high school to their respective programs. "I've always believed with my pitching background that if you're 17 or 18 years old, and you got command, and you know 90-92 with three pitches, that usually doesn't go backwards." In fact, out of the last six teams to play in the CWS Finals (UNC, OU, LSU, Coastal Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas A&M) 15 of the 17 (88%) starting pitchers used on their first three gamedays in Omaha were recruited to their institutions out of H.S. "It's good recruiting by both sides and I think that's why we're both in the finals,” Forbes added.
