MSU Baseball Draft Thoughts

[The Federalist Engineer]

So who are the instant impact candidates and what position?

Holcombe is the power closer?

Loftin can be anything he is ready for.

Highfill is already a grown man. Cheese has excellent material to work with.

Dakota Johnson is he baseball 1st or Football 1st?

Cijntje a recruit this big (34 overall) has to have starter ambition, this is a JT Ginn profile recruit

So the 2023 starter candidates are:

Cade, Skenes, Cijntje, Loftin, Holcombe, and Gartman

This a good starting position for competition and Depth. I like the volume, just rotate the 3 hottest arms and let people rest as needed.

Instant Impact: Nixon, Dohm, Gartman, Holcombe as pitchers will contribute right away. Nixon as closer, Holcome as set up man. Ledbetter will start in the OF and Larry will start at 2B.

Loftin will get some midweek work. I see him maybe being a matchup guy on weekends as the season matures if he develops. It's really tough as a true freshman.

Highfill is probably better than anyone we can get in the portal so he will have to start if Hancock moves on.

Dakota is baseball only. Like Loftin, it will be an adjustment.
