Both are very suspect defensively. Sosa threw out 4/39. Sosa had 6 PB's and shared time at Catcher- SH guy had 8 PB's as the full-time guy. Both would be offensive catchers

SS is a competitive Portal Contest
Latte- CSF, Becker-UVA, Jarren Advincula-CAL, Becerra- Stanford, Hacopian - Maryland
All these boys are considering SEC jobs.
It will be interesting to see stats in June of 2026 to see who won the portal.
Hey Coach, what do we know about Ole Miss's Smithwick? In limited time, he threw out 4 of 5 baserunner and zero pass balls. Was a top Recruit. I'll take a Lotterhos 2.0, been a while since the last kid came from OM.
Smithwick played and started 20 games, no pass balls and nobody ran on him. The OM everyday starter hit 21 HRs, so the other dude was very good offensively and very adequate defensively. Both are sophomores, so the backup had to leave.
I havent heard anything on him but that doesnt mean we arent on the case. As the rest of us- I'm curious to see what we pull. Because we have Top 5 money now. We have BOC who is supposed to be a Dude. So we should be pulling all-stars and shouldnt be losing every battle to Texas/LSU/Tenn and others
Milewski just followed basically our whole team so I'd say that's likely happening
Kirby just tweeted 3 sets of eyes.
What?s the latest on Becker?? Does anybody know? Also TCU catcher to Florida. Maybe we can throw a bag at Tinney now?
maybe Henry Ford, the draft risk?
Cupp headed to Dallas Baptist
Per Twitter, Tyler Pitzer RHP commits. Previously at South Carolina. Hopefully, Parker can get his ERA under control.
Has some arm talent- but that 6.99 ERA and 28 BB's in 28 innings gonna have get fixed. Parker gotta get him more consistent
Well apparently Parker knows him and thinks he can "fix" him so there you go.
This one feels like a Fail. This dude gave up 10 runs in One Inning last year. So the ERA is better factoring that USCe gave up last year. That's 10 of 25 earned runs.
The 64 analytics ranking factor the draft in the ranking. We dont care about the electric arm, showcase pussies. I rather get a size XL mental giant from Wright State. These Manieri kids are bathed in Frenchness.
Parker should be busy enough with his sophomores. Burns especially. I hope this just an invitation to enroll, collect some Out State tuition, or be the BP monkey.
Jurrangelo had an ERA in the 8s before Parker. Khal Stephen had an ERA of 5.2. If Parker knows this guy has the stuff, he may think he can make it happen.
Milewski is in!
This is more fun than the season was
How good is he defensively as a catcher? I care about that more than his hitting.
All that's really left is a SS and a couple of LH pitchers.
Depending on how the draft shakes out, we could easily have a Top 10 roster next year.
Are we completely out on Becker and Ford?
Terry Rooney who is South Carolina's pitching coach now is extremely old school and doesn't believe in modern baseball science like using pitching labs. As a result, their staff suffered.
This guy is almost a slam dunk to improve with us and he is dominating the Cape right now. His slider has elite spin and basically he wasn't throwing it enough at South Carolina plus he was left to rot against Auburn which accounted for almost half the runs he allowed.
Matt Williams, the first year pitching coach at Coastal was the guy who followed Parker at USCe. They took a step down in PC at Columbia.
we currently have 11 commits from the 25 high school class and 3 of them are catchers, mershon, beliveau and wortham. it'll be sweet to sit and see who is drafted from this entire group of 11
Then how good are the other 2? They better receivers and better pop times than Ross and the fireman?
Ford to Tennessee
