Yeager bats from the right side. He's 6'3, 200 lbs. He hit 13 HRs and 50 RBIs last year for Mercer. A career .291 hitter. From what I've read, he's a pretty good defender who can play SS, but with Forsythe there and a hole at 2B, that's where he'll be. The question will be how long it takes him to adjust to SEC pitching.

Hines has more natural pop than anyone on the team. Big time left handed bat. He had a good fall. He's a freshman so it might take him awhile, but he's got 12-15+ HR potential.

Jess Davis is a speedy LH bat. Doesn't have the best numbers at UAB, but he's an elite CF. Won the national gold glove award. He and Skinner will battle for CF. I think Davis wins because of his glove and the fact that he's a better hitter. I've got him in the 9 hole because he could serve as a second lead off guy for Hancock so he can work with men on base (which is where he's at his best). Oh, Davis also stole 48 bases his freshman year.
