Perfect Game statement on the class
We had Texas Tech with the #1 2020 JUCO class about a year ago when we looked at these classes through the early signing deadline, and they stay at #1 in the final iteration. It's all about power arms in Lubbock, as Red Raider pitching coach Matt Gardner can build Velocity like few others, and this class gives him even more high-octave arms to work with. Birdsell was in play to be drafted this past June but opted to head to Tech, he's been mid-90's and touching higher with a wipeout slider this fall and looks poised for a big role. Fellow flamethrower Webster likewise has been throwing gas and looking like a major bullpen piece. Runion had some of the better offensive upside of anyone in the 2020 JUCO class and could play either infield corner, while lefty Petix adds an intriguing projection element to the class, though his stuff is plenty good right now. Texas Tech expects to be in Omaha every year, and this class of JUCO prospects should help them get there in 2021.
