Jimmy Keenan the St John's Catcher has been identified as the top MLB prospect for STJ in 2025. I guess I'm not the only admirer.
He could greatly improve that draft stock in a maroon uniform with a little SEC patch on the shoulder.

Jimmy Keenan the St John's Catcher has been identified as the top MLB prospect for STJ in 2025. I guess I'm not the only admirer.
He could greatly improve that draft stock in a maroon uniform with a little SEC patch on the shoulder.
A few of the players I'm hearing we've already identified and are trying to set up visits with:
1. Cole Cramer 3B Washington St.- .345 avg, .487 slg, .425 OBP, 15 2B, 3 HR
2. Gehrig Frei 3B North Alabama- .320 avg, .597 slg, .420 OBP, 12 2B, 15 HR
3. Blake Cyr OF/INF Miami- .284 avg, .537 slg, .397 OBP, 3 2B, 7 HR (numbers are a little low because he had thumb surgery the beginning of April that kept him out the rest of the year)
4. Jason Torres 1B Miami- .331 avg, .529 slg, .385 OBP, 7 2B, 8 HR (numbers are low becuase he had Tommy John and missed the last month. Will be ready to go for 2025)
5. Gavin Kash 1B Texas Tech- .300 avg, .561 slg, .365 OBP, 17 2B, 15 HR (Numbers dipped this year. Was incredible in 2023. Will be one of the most sought after guys in the portal.)
On the Keenan thing, he would be a great pickup, but let's don't turn this into a Zach Neto situation. As a refresher, our fans took a message board rumor that his uncle told everyone he loved Mississippi State at the 21 Regionals and everyone assumed that he was transferring when the guy never even went into the portal.Quote:

1B Eric Rataczak, has entered the portal are fulfilling his career with the Purple Eagles. He hit .396 with 17 HRs, 71 RBIs, 31 walks (25 K's) + 1.183 OPS.
All of them. We want them all.Quote:

Ohio State LHP Landon Beidelschies is a guy we're on.
6'3, 225 lbs.
4.15 ERA, 91 Ks, and 31 BBs in 84.2 IP.
3:1 K/BB ratio. Struck out 26% of the batters he faced while only walking 8.8%.
Going to be a 2025 draft pick
I'll piggyback on this. Staff is very interested in him. Wipeout slider and a low 90s FB. Could fight for a starting role on the weekend. I see him more as a Chad Girodo type. Long relief and could midweek and spot start where we needed him to.Quote:

Aiden Moffett LSU P in the portal. He's a MS kid. Consistency has been his issue but his stuff is 98 mph and looked great against A&M.
I?d trust Parker to get him right.Quote:

Florida has the largest baseball NIL in the country. I imagine FSU has stepped theirs up.Quote:

He's not getting firedQuote:
