The projections below assume Grady, Cooke, Crowl and Stieg (didn’t sign and some question on if he stays committed to Alabama) return. Lineup 1. L / RF / Sam Gates 2. R / 3B / Pete Daniel 3. L / CF / Treyson Hughes 4. R / C / Henry Cooke 5. R / 1B / Owen Petrich 6. L / DH / Anderson French 7. R / LF / Mycah Jordan or Nick Locurto 8. L / 2B / Sam Grube 9. R / SS / Clay Grady - Similar to last year, I think we’ll see a lot of different lineup combinations and defensive configurations throughout the year. French will likely platoon at C, 1B at DH. Petrich can play 1B and 3B and DH. Ethan Gibson and Hudson Lutterman will likely get some opportunities with their versatility. Freshmen Ethan Ball, Willie Hurt and Aiden Arnett should get some mid-week opportunities and could take on bigger roles as the season progresses if any of the veterans falter.
