    (C) Walling - less than 1 inning with 4 walks, 4 runs, 9 batters faced
    (D) Simmons - 3 innings with 5 runs, 6 hits
    (E) Stinnett - 4 innings and 9 Ks and 1 BB, 2 runs
    (F) Kohn - 1 inning, 3 runs
    (G) C Smith -2 innings 6 runs

    So after Sims, there were quite a few players given a shot to start in the fall. ED seems to have Sims and C Smith as given starters with #3 being different for each poster.

    The 3rd starter by the 1st SEC Series seems like a great V-Cash betting topic.
    Good idea on the V-Cash thought. So based on your knowledge of the team, who do you see as a possible left handed option both as a starter and/or a top matchup guy out of the pen down the stretch?

    This a better Todd question. The lefties are Walling, Tullar Kohn, Cheatham, and Montiel.

    Tullar is a roster player but did not pitch in the Fall. He was ok last year, after being a big recruit that the 2020 draft left behind. 6+ ERA in 2021 but half the runs in two outings. He made the CWS roster. He was used as a matchup guy in 2021.

    Walling is the big upside guy (ranked 143 of 200 top MLB draft prospects) but with control issues. The young man is angling to perform, contribute and be drafted highly in 2022. That would be great. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/draft/...walling-681003

    Kohn is the biggest lefty HS recruit, could be the lefty with the most innings/appearances pitched in 2022. He got lots of work in the Fall and versus Alabama.

    If Foxhall can push the right buttons with big prospects like Walling and Kohn, that would be huge for 2022.

    On closers, without Sims, I have no guess.

    I think Montiel left the team. Tullar pitched bullpens only and I think I heard he had some minor injury but should be ready to go now. Kohn I could see as a LOOGY but I could also see him factoring in as a potential midweek guy too. Walling could be another Daniel Brown or Paul Young. Walling wants to be a starter but I think he is a relief guy.

    Most people think KC Hunt will be the closer. I could see us maybe using Walling as a closer some along with Preston Johnson because Foxhall doesn't like to overwork our closers- see Sims. I know that drove us crazy sometimes and it probably cost us a couple of games during the regular season but Sims was ready when we really needed him.

    Hey Todd, I am optimistic about Matt Corder for no other reason than I believe in numbers and differential stats. Never seen him play, he was injured for fall ball I hear.

    He hit like 100 points higher than his nearest teammate and 130 higher than the team average at Hinds. Low Strikeouts and almost as many walks. He is not huge in size. He also lead his Summer team in hitting, he was the star man.

    Is he the new Brett Pirtle (a legend)? Can he play OF for MSU?

    I like Corder a lot but I just don't see him contributing this year a lot because of his injury. I think he's an outfielder all the way. I wouldn't be surprised if he is our center fielder next year honestly.

    Any freshmen pitchers going to make an impact? I am interested to see if Jack Walker from LA logs some innings. Not often that you get a National Pitcher of the Year into school.

    I'd keep an eye on Walker, Pico Kohn, and Cole Cheatham. Brooks Auger and Andrew Walling are potential impact JUCO's.

    You are asking for trouble though if you try to use someone who can't throw strikes as a closer.

    There are now 38 players on the roster for State.

    It looks like Corbin Grantham and Taylor Haines have been taken off the roster recently. I know Haines announced he was transferring but never saw anything from Corbin.

    Corbin didn't make the cut

    I believe Kace Garner is at Samford now. A friend of mine saw him at a camp or recruiting visit there last year and said he looked good with the bat.

    As odd as this may sound I wished he would have stayed. Would have helped with depth even though he would have been the third guy behind Tanner and Hancock.
