Ken Knutson Quotations

I was happy for them, but I'd rather it had been the Huskies.

If we can play our way in, I think he can make it rough on anybody because he's so dominant. When we pitch him, we're going to win.

I don't know what to tell you. I've been coaching for almost 25 years, and he's got the best stuff I've ever seen.

I felt like he could throw 70 or 80 pitches. He is strong, he is in good shape and he pitched well.

He has been hitting well. Home runs are funny. They kind of come in bunches. He is more of a line drive kind of guy.

He did tonight what good pitchers do for you they find a way to win for you.

He is going to help our pitching immensely. He is another power arm, and he did real well for us until the surgery.

He might get close to 500. If we play long enough and get deep enough in the postseason, he could punch out 200 guys this year.

He's going to pitch next Tuesday in Seattle (against San Diego).

I think the guys knew it was sort of a fluke. We addressed it. I told them that in my career, I don't think we'd given up an eight-run lead in the eighth inning. They had a good, even keel today and played well.

It is going to be a challenge because we are thousands of miles away today and we are essentially only going to get one day off.

Our pitching is generally a year older with some really good arms. We have the players.

I've never seen anybody pitch better than he has.

The stuff is there. I truly believe he's going to be in the big leagues really fast. The stuff that he has, I haven't seen at this level.

Seeing a lot of teams in a very short time can be a challenge.

It's just not an issue for me as far as pro baseball, his size or whatever. I don't expect him to break down, because of the way he takes care of his body. To think there's some reason he won't have success at the next level, you're just being guarded. If you project out, he's going to be an All-Star, a dominant major-league pitcher.

It's been just nothing short of spectacular. He's on a roll like I've never seen in college baseball.

That's a pretty typical seven innings for him.

If you just look at what's the gun's going to say, he's going to be a first-rounder. If you look at his body, he probably doesn't profile. I think somebody will take a chance on him because arms like that don't come around very often. I can't imagine somebody having a better arm.

I don't know if I've been more nervous my whole career. It was awesome.

If he would have been 6-5, he never would have made it onto campus.

He's on a roll. It's fun to watch him compete. He's got great confidence and command. Everything he's throwing is electric.

He's on a roll. It's fun. Everything he's throwing is super, it's electric. It's come together this year. His ceiling is so high, but he's pitching to it.

He's got a little Rain Man in him.

He pitched his game. That's his style. He gets a ton of ground balls and makes the hitters put the ball in play. He was outstanding today.

He pitched his game. He was outstanding today.
