With some of the recent activity over the last week or two, I thought I would provide a view of where I think things stand as of now for what it's worth. Recent Activity • Confirmed Returning: 2B Ethan Ball • Entered Portal: OF Mycah Jordan, RHP Tyler Stone • Incoming Portal: LHP Chris Torres (SC Upstate), RHP Nate Bennett (Niagra) Catchers • Current Situation: currently 2 vs. target of 3 • Portal & Draft Outlook: I expect us add an experienced transfer that can project as a starter/heavy contributor to pair with SO CJ Oxendine and FR Justin Munoz. Infielders • Current Situation: currently 11 vs. target of 8 • Portal & Draft Outlook: I project that Pete Daniel will get drafted and not return. With Evan Hankins coming in as a transfer, I expect Aimon Chandler to enter the portal and then I could see one of our incoming freshmen (Palmer Hornick, Lucas Delacruz, JM Szefc) not make the spring roster. Outfielders • Current Situation: currently 6 vs. target of 5 • Portal & Draft Outlook: With Mycah Jordan entering the portal, that provides some clarity to our outfield situation. The coaching staff may explore trying to find a high quality transfer OF that could provide an upgrade over incoming JUCO Connor Guy but otherwise, Guy would likely get the first shot as the starting CF. We would still need to likely trim one OF from our incoming freshmen (Brady Elrod, Aiden Arnett, Owen Green). Right-Handed Pitchers • Current Situation: currently 11 vs. target of 12 • Portal & Draft Outlook: There could be a lot of continued portal activity here, both incoming and outgoing. We are still pending announcements on Aiden Robertson, Jake Wise and Ryan Walsh. I am also assuming that one of our incoming freshmen RHP won’t make the spring roster, so look for us to target at least 3 more right-handed relief pitchers. Left-Handed Pitchers • Current Situation: currently 5 vs. target of 6 • Portal & Draft Outlook: We still don’t have confirmation on any LHP returning for next season with Danny Lazaro and Austin Dean presumably TBD. Assuming they end up returning, we should have a need for at least one more transfer LHP.
