What are your early expectations/thoughts regarding baseball next year? We're only a little over 3 months out. It'll be here before we know it.
I think a lineup (in some order) of:
C - Hancock (Highfill during midweek)
1B - Hines
2B - Larry
3B - Alford
SS - Forsythe (with Mershon playing some)
LF - Jordan/Hujsak/Downs/Chance
CF - Ledbetter
RF - Clark
DH - Hujsak/Downs/Seibert/Chance
would be decent. Still some position battles to take place, mainly DH and LF. It's not a lineup that'll lead the SEC in hitting, but we have a nice mix of contact and power. Should be pretty good defensively too.
Won't try to guess the rotation. I think Cade is probably our Friday night starter, and Nixon is probably the closer. But Hunt, Stinnett, Gartman, Davis, Kohn, Dohm, Cjinte, Loftin, and the other freshmen give us more options than we had last year.
I expect to be back in the postseason in 2023. Then I think 2024 is a year we can really make noise.
