1. Maddox Webb. He was the closer at The Citadel and he throws in the low 90's but has a really good curveball. For MSU he is a candidate to be the closer and even if he doesn't get that role, I think he will see a good bit of action this year.

2. Brandon Sweeney. Another pitcher who maybe is a dark horse candidate to close. He's tall at 6'7" and is very long with some deception. He also has SEC experience which some of our new guys don't have. His ERA was bloated because quite frankly Paul Manieri screwed him over. He could be a good long relief option for MSU as well.

3. Dane Burns. Justin Parker loves this guy. And he was drafted by the Royals after taking a year off due to an injury. He is draft eligible this year and he is a candidate to be a relief ace or maybe even a darkhorse candidate to start for MSU.

4. Reed Stallman. Most fans are talking about Blake Bevis, Noah Sullivan and Gehrig Frei. Stallman is a good LH option off of the bench though and has some power. If Bevis struggles to adjust to the SEC Reed may be a good option to take over at 1B.

5. Vytas Valinicus. Similar to Reed but maybe even better, he was one of Illinois top players and he was considered a top 20 portal pick up by most services. Probably more of an OF, but he has the ability to play 1B. He's also a senior so he has some good college baseball experience.
