Coach Josh Holliday Celebrates Win #500
Alex Conover had a hit last night and also drew three walks. He raised his batting average to .356, his on-base percentage to .476, and his OPS to 1.019. He's 10-13 in stolen bases, he has 25 RBIs in 36 games played, and he's scored 36 runs. Which means he's averaging scoring 1 run per game started, and, if you equate that to the MLB statistics of last year, that would lead ALL of the Major Leagues in runs scored per game. 

And, his K% is right at 16%, which, TBH, is good for someone who works counts, isn't afraid to hit with 2 strikes, gathers as many hits as he does, and gets on base at his clip.

He's also getting on base in leadoff situations, WELL OVER 50% of those at-bats, so he's the ultimate table setter, and he's also very good at driving in runs when this team turns the lineup over. 

I'll take 9 Alex Conover's in my batting lineup every day & twice on Sundays, because the other team would leave EVERY game feeling like they had been beaten to a pulp! He's an exhausting hitter/competitor to face. 

Keep ringin' that Cowbell, Alex, we need it!  #gopokes #okstate
Alex Conover is a Straight Up DAWG!
Deacon Pomeroy sent us home last night with a SUPER impressive home run to left-center. A couple of things to unpack here. Pomeroy's space, according to Coach Holliday, is on the outer half, many times lower in the zone, and the count was 0-2, so surely that's where he was looking. Instead, he got a fastball up & in, and I can't imagine any world where that was the pitch or location he was expecting.   

Despite that, he was not only able to get to it, but he was also able to do damage with it, and look at how SHORT that stroke was.   Another example of a young hitter in this program that has the ability to beat situations when things aren't perfect, and those skills are VERY hard to teach.  

It's hard to quantify how hard it is to hit at this level as a Freshman, even with a consistent role and every day at-bats. If you need proof, ask Brock Thompson! It's infinitely more difficult when a lot of your at-bats are pinch-hit situations, or when you do get starts, it's not enough in a row to work through the success/failure process that is hitting. 

So, hopefully this hit gets Deacon comfortable & confident, because this dude can absolutely destroy baseballs. But, I promise you, he also knows how to hit. The way he tracks the ball, as soft as he is in his focus, load, and preparation to swing, shows a pretty high level of instruction he's had to get to this point. Now, it's just ALL about getting enough at-bats to turn ALL of that loose. It's not if, it's how s
Deacon Pomeroy DESTROYED That Pitch!
Congrats to Coach Holliday for winning 500 last night, an absolutely amazing accomplishment. And, I will say this VERY clearly, the program is MUCH better now than when he took over. That goes for both the interest level of the fans and the play on the field. There was a period of time, and TBH, a rather lengthy period of time, that baseball wasn't even on the radar for OSU, and his hiring changed that overnight. 

I will say this too, Josh was a KEY part of getting O'Brate Stadium built. Without his persistence and without the tag team work he did with Coach Holder, I'm not convinced it would have ever happened. And I'm totally convinced it would not have happened in as grandeur of fashion as the stadium ended up being. So, from that perspective, as a fan, I am very thankful.

Now, we have one of the best facilities in College Baseball & we're back to wanting Gary Ward results, and that's both a blessing & a curse. He takes that challenge head-on and, TBH, he also takes it personally. Although I don't think he'd ever admit that, or maybe he would, but he loves OSU to the point where he can't help it. It's in his blood!

So, you have to respect and be thankful for how he empties his tank for OSU, not himself. The part of 500 that he will be most excited about is that OSU Baseball has won 500 games, not Josh Holliday, and that piece is next to impossible to find in today's day and age. #gopokes #okstate
Coach Josh Holliday Celebrates Win #500! Congrats Coach!
Aubrey Jones absolutely DESTROYED her double to left-center to start the rally back up. As important as it was to move the lead from 2 to 3, when the Cowgirls got the rally started back up, then got to 5, that was THE statement. 

Jones is what you call a "Treasure Trove" of tools. Elite potential in just about every category. Multiple carrying tools and a competitive element that puts the bow on the entire package. 

The talented Frosh is hitting .327, with an OPS of .920. Great player! #gopokes #okstate
Aubrey Jones is a "Treasure Trove" of TOOLS!
Rosie Davis went HORNS DOWN in Austin tonight! 
And, in case you were curious, I was NOT rooting for the Bevos. 

Yet ANOTHER moment created for Davis, who hit a 2-run bomb in the top of the 6th to give the Cowgirls the lead. At that point, Ruby was like, we good!

Davis is hitting .365 with runners in scoring position. She had the walk-off against Nebraska, the home run tonight, huge hit after huge hit, and she's anchored 3rd base as well, a position that was up for grabs coming into the season. 

Atta Girl Rosie, not surprised in the least, keep ringin' that cowbell, and let's keep workin' our way into hosting Regionals. #gopokes #okstate
Rosie Davis is CLUTCH!
I'm out of words to describe the awesomeness that is Ruby Meylan. So, let's just hear for her. What an awesome pitcher, leader, competitor, you name, she's ALL of it. 
Tonight
7IP | 2H | 0R | 4Ks | 0BB

Her entire career is wow, but this last week has been absolutely remarkable. #gopokes #okstate
Ruby Meylan is AWESOME!
Congrats Rex!
Rex Holt was inducted into the OSU baseball Hall of Fame on Saturday, which means he's now in both the Wrestling and baseball Halls of Fame. 

Rex cut his teeth with Bill Platt (Roundin' 3rd & Headed Home), and he'll tell you that he took a lot from Bill, but, then, also, added his style to it. That style, what I call the "classic" style of broadcasting, lets the action breathe with perfectly timed insertions that ADD to the moment, while not trying to be the moment. That goes to the utter lack of ego that Rex does everything with, and everyone who knows him knows, as good of a broadcaster as he is, he's an even better person.

On a personal note, OSU can be a tough cookie to crack in terms of gaining access. Rex has never hesitated to help in any way he can, and he and the rest of the Holt family are like family to me. So, this one hit REAL DEEP. 

Well, and, not to mention, just the hours folks like me have spent listening to him bring us OSU baseball, he's become a LARGE reason why so many of us are such diehards. 

Congrats again, Rex, no one, and I mean NO ONE, deserves this more than you. #gopokes #okstate
Congrats Rex!
Congrats to my man Freddie Moulder for being elected into the OSU baseball Hall of Fame. It was LONG overdue! 

 As you'll hear in the video, Moulder was the first African American to play at OSU, and the first ever OSU player to be drafted. 

Moulder also played basketball for Henry Iba, so he's a living legend. 

On a personal note. Freddie is from Guthrie and still lives in Guthrie, and he would come to our practices and talk to the kids and give them some incredible perspective. Like, seriously, some "mind-blowing" type stuff that left our kids amazed. 

The humble confidence he carries himself with is inspiring, and I'll also say that dude can motivate. I'm tellin' ya, when he came, he got the kids so motivated, they'd have the best day of their lives on the baseball field. 

Much respect, Freddie, you are THE legend in Guthrie, and, now, forever immortalized in OSU baseball history. #gopokes #okstate
