    Yeager All-SEC, Hines Freshman ALl-SEC

    Yeager named All-SEC 1st Team, LoTan second team and All-Defense Team.
    Hines Freshman All-SEC

    Wish we had Yeager for another year!

    Good for RJ. He was the one player who was better than I expected, especially considering the rough start he had. Just wished we would've had a better season for him to enjoy.

    Biggest disappointments to me on the team are James, Tanner and Clark.

    Kam raised his average from .264 to .303, raised his slugging, played a good third, and hit the same number of HR as last regular season. He's not TA. He's a solid college player.

    He cut his errors from 14 to 6, and only 2 of those have been since the UGA series. I've yet to understand the redass so many have for Kam.

    The numbers are there that say he's a solid player. For me it was the eye test. The alarming amount of times we had bases loaded with no outs and we ended up not scoring seemed to always include Kam at bat. A number I would like to see is average with RISP, I think that number would be interesting. I could be totally wrong though.

    We hear announcers mention our fans? baseball IQ all the time. They obviously aren?t reading the thoughts of fans that are on social media.

    I think people just expected him to be something he's not. Decent chance we're going to wish he were back next year. If we're going to suck next year, I guess I'd rather suck with Alford or another young player at 3rd, but it's not like we have a sure fire upgrade for next year.

    Any info on the mizzou SS who is from natchez and played at Co-Lin as to whether he was recruited at all? He was right here in our backyard.

    Bc people thought he was an all sec type guy. Same way they thought about Hancock despite him being a career .280 hitter.

    Now old wins in this league, so I'd for sure take both back. Kam could make another jump and be .330 with 10-13 HR and Luke could be better as a senior.

    We just need a massive influx of arms.

    ? Clark had a really good year. James was strong. Tanner was definitely a disappointment.

    You call batting .257 a "really good year"? He was second on the team in K's with 47. Given the way he performed down the stretch last year, I thought a full year under his belt would yield better results.

    Ok, I give a little bit on James. He batted .303, which is an improvement from last year but he only had a total of 18 extra base hits. I personally thought his HR"s would've easily been in double digits. Defensively, there's no denying he was much improved. I kinda thought he might have a breakout, All-SEC type year though.

    A full year under his belt did yield better results for Clark. He hit .237 last year with an .850 OPS. This year that jumped to .257 with a .925 OPS. HR rate and RBI rate both increased and he actually K'd less per PA than last year. So yes, he had a really good year, his BA doesn't really matter much.

    James had fewer PA this year, his XBH rate was almost identical to last year. His BA improved, he got on base more, his BB and K rates improved. He had a strong year.

    pitching or the lack of it was the killer. If Fox is staying then he is now on the clock is all I can say. Everybody can't be made to throw like Simms.

    As Lemo said in an interview - last year we had great players, this year we had good players. And we see the difference in results between good and great.

    This is the point. I can coach Sims and Bednar. Who can coach Tepper and Fristoe is what coaching comes down to
