  1. Going to have a lot more flexibility and lineup options at a minimum. Livingston (left handed), Moroknek (left handed) and Freeman (switch hitter). No more Jaquae Stewart as your third best LH bat.
  2. Freeman has catcher experience earlier in this career but has mainly been 2B/OF I believe at Auburn and Georgia State.
  3. Winfield and Gasparino are only going to The Cape because that is where they played last summer. I think they usually just invite the returning guys back, and all the draft-eligible guys that leave are replaced by new freshmen/sophomores.
  4. Guys with multiple years of production are always going to be safer. I do see your point about Moroknek's production against decent teams (quick math says he hit .234 in the 11 games against the teams you mentioned). His strikeout rate was around 16% and dropped from 21% the previous year, so that is a good sign. You are right that it is sometimes a crapshoot with these lower-level guys. Moroknek is far from a guarantee middle-of-the-order guy who hits .300 with 15 homers, but based on his production over two years, I am confident he will contribute more to winning than Winfield did this year.
  5. Yep I skimmed the list too quickly. I think Rodriguez was supposed to play in the Cape too but he needs a break.
  6. Probably more notable who isn't playing. Mendoza, Rodriguez, Borba, Volantis, Jason Flores (edit: nevermind on Mendoza) First 2 must be recovering from injuries and the last two must have hit inning limits and they didn't want them throwing this summer.
  7. I think it's fair to say a guy who had 1/3rd of his season hit total against Prairie View A&M was a bust. Looking under the hood, there were some red flags at ULM that we kind of ignored or just thought would get better. He hit .278 in Sun Belt play in 2024 so it wasn't like he was lighting the world on fire in that league. The defense was also horrific at both ULM (4 errors, .951 fielding%) and here. I'd be mildly surprised if he is back.
  8. Last visit wins
  9. Left-handed bats are a top priority. It was a glaring hole once Belyeu went down and our lefty options were a hurt Adrian Rodriguez, Cole Chamberlain, Easton Winfield and Jaquae Stewart.
  10. He will be a draft sweat, but those are the type of guys you want.
  11. Yay
  12. Bummer. This was a guy who visited and that we wanted.
  13. Mississippi State 247 baseball mod with an interesting post on Notre Dame C Carson Tinney, who Mississippi State tried to get involved with: I have been told that former Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney is expected to choose between Florida and Texas.
  14. Another OF I know we are on https://butlersports.com/sports/baseball/roster/jack-moroknek/12467
  15. Texas, Clemson or UNC. I think Clemson got the last visit.
