We Catch up with Randy Leblanc

At practice on Wednesday we caught up with Randy Leblanc and Coach Rick Jones. You'll have to wait for the Hullabaloo on Friday to read the Jones interview, but here is what Randy had to say about his first collegiate start for the Green Wave.

John Owens: "Just talk a little bit about it [his first start], you threw pretty well in that first game."

Randy Leblanc: "Yeah, I threw okay. I'm definitely a whole lot better than what I did. I threw 96 pitches in 5 innings which doesn't cut it for me. I know I only gave up two runs, but, the changeup was working real good, had a little bit of command issues late and I never really had a curveball; never did find that."

JO: "So you threw 96 pitches through 5 innings, how are you going to improve your pitch count?"

RL: "I've just got to start ahead on batters, I mean that was the biggest thing, I mean I went 2-0, 3-0 on a lot of batters and when you're throwing 20 pitches an inning it runs your pitch count up."

JO: "You had 8 k's through 5 innings, talk a little bit about that first strikeout. Was it any different than any other strikeout?"

RL: "A little satisfying I guess, to start off my college career with a strikeout. I actually feel pretty good about it."

JO: "What's the overall feeling, being a D-1 college pitcher now?"

RL: "It was fun, we had a good crowd, there were like 3,300 people or something like that. So, it was a lot of fun."
