3B: Kam James
SS: Lane Forsthe
2B: Leggett/Meche
1B: Hancock
C: Logan Tanner
RF: Cumbest
CF: Skinner
LF: Clark
Incoming players that might could help next season:
Hunter Hines, 1B/DH
Matt Corder, JC: OF
Slate Alford
Aaron Downs
Looking at this group, I think it is important to add a MIF and an OF from the transfer portal. Proven players that want to play at The Dude and compete for Omaha.
I expect Hancock to seek professional opportunity; thus, Clark to 1B. I expect a new SS from incoming class and Forsythe to 2B. McGowan to challenge for LF with his bat hopefully and Cumbest moving to RF.
I think he's probably going pro, but it'd be great if we could get Lil McCants and plug him in at a MIF spot.
The only questions in that lineup for me would be Skinner in CF and then the 2B spot. Can Skinner improve enough to be a leadoff man or starter in the SEC? He looked completely lost at times this year. And then at 2B is where I think getting a guy from the portal would be best. I think Meche will be decent in time, and we know what we have Leggett, but another veteran player could boost this team up another level.
20 rounds in the draft? How many drafted each round? If you include high school there are a lot of guys out there.
C: LoTan
1B: Clark
2B: Transfer/Meche
3B: Kam

Starters: Fri: Fristoe
Sat: Cade Smith
Sun: Harding
Midweek: Tepper
Definitely need to find another corner outfielder. I really expect we'll look hard at the transfer portal for corner outfielder and 2B. Also probably wouldn't hurt to find a middle reliever who could make start if need be, ala Zach Neff or JP France.
Someone needs to put a bug in Trimbles ear at Hattiesburg.. and Neto from Campbell.

Trimble's dream is to be a Rebel. If he goes into the portal that's where he's going. And I have no clue where the Neto stuff is coming from. He's playing summer ball and Campbell placed him. If he was looking to leave he'd have already been in the portal. No doubt he's a great prospect, and we'd definitely take him, but I haven't seen anywhere but from our fan base that he might transfer.Quote:

Any lineup with foreskin in the batting order gets tossed. He is a career Mendoza line hitter....we are collage baseball we can do better no excuses.Quote:

We need some grad transfers from D1 schools - totally made up prospects
Mike Rudick -CF - San Diego State, 400 hitter in 2021
John Behrends- OF - Belmont Bruin - the exit velo king of college baseball - might be drafted too high.
Tyler Hardman - 1B - Oklahoma- baseball stud at a Softball school - might be a 1st rounder
Niko Kavadas - 1B - he’s got eligibility, if his coach leaves and already graduated, then surely he wants to play in Starkville. “ Niko! Niko! Niko!” after moonshot homeruns
You think you might want to wait and see who will be back after the draft is over.

We will have a transfer or two to add to the mix.
We recruited a large MIF class this past year. Nearly all were processed and Forsyth played only after James, Leggett, and Jordan had issues.Quote:

James is OF at 3B, Dubrule graduates, and Leggett graduates.
MSU usually gets a Foscue or Burke Masters from a big class like that.
Leggett still has eligibility due to COVID and very well may returnQuote:

Of course, if we have a major league type SS come in, that might change things.
He is welcome to comeback but we need to get a 4 year studs from small schools or Big 10 or Western Mid MajorsQuote:
