    Let's talk baseball

    What are your early expectations/thoughts regarding baseball next year? We're only a little over 3 months out. It'll be here before we know it.

    I think a lineup (in some order) of:

    C - Hancock (Highfill during midweek)
    1B - Hines
    2B - Larry
    3B - Alford
    SS - Forsythe (with Mershon playing some)
    LF - Jordan/Hujsak/Downs/Chance
    CF - Ledbetter
    RF - Clark
    DH - Hujsak/Downs/Seibert/Chance

    would be decent. Still some position battles to take place, mainly DH and LF. It's not a lineup that'll lead the SEC in hitting, but we have a nice mix of contact and power. Should be pretty good defensively too.

    Won't try to guess the rotation. I think Cade is probably our Friday night starter, and Nixon is probably the closer. But Hunt, Stinnett, Gartman, Davis, Kohn, Dohm, Cjinte, Loftin, and the other freshmen give us more options than we had last year.

    I expect to be back in the postseason in 2023. Then I think 2024 is a year we can really make noise.

    Dakota had a hell of a call. Gonna be hard for him not to be in the line up.

    Larry
    Ledbetter
    Hines
    Alford
    Hancock
    Clark
    Jordan
    Hujsack
    Forsythe

    Cade (if fully healthy)
    Hunt
    Gartman

    Nixon closer

    Everyone throws midweek unless we play a good team then I would say Start Loftin

    His slider looks like a frisbee. If he can somewhat locate the fastball, he'll make a lot of money

    The kid from JA and the SS transfer have to have their bat in there somewhere on the reg. So prepare for some different line-ups vs RHP's and LHP's. Platooning likely with this team

    I'm mostly worried about 2 things.
    1: Walks
    2: 4 seamers up in the zone with no movement

    If we don't take care of those 2 issues, this year will look like last year.

    We should be back in a Super Regional if you are asking my expectation.

    We're very talented- but with no established ace.
