Yep. Kind of jumps off the page doesn't it. Must have been quite a workhorse with 110 innings pitched. That is equivalent to 12 full games. And a heck of a ERA with that many innings pitched.

Cowan is a sinker ball pitcher with an elite change up. And we're interested for sure

With Stephens, from Ok Big 10 pitcher to 1st Team All SEC is awesome work. MSUs 1st team All SEC pitchers include dudes like Stratton, Hudson and Small. Even a legend like Landon Simms was 2nd Team.
Wonder what Parker will accomplish with Stevens, Dotson, Grant, Loftin, Ligon, Holcombe, and Black with a full year as their coach.
It's not surprising that we have interest in at least 2-3 Big 10 pitchers. It felt like we never really had a full deck of pitchers last year. If we can get Loftin and Grant healthy we could be really good. Pico will also be 100% next year. Black just needs to refine his command a little bit. Stevens will hopefully make a jump. We're going to work the portal and make sure that we have enough arms competing in the fall. Gage Haley had a really good game in summer ball the other night. He could be a surprise for us.

Carter was supposed to be top returner and was an elite recruit for ECU.
A freshman with a 346 average and 156 ABs of experience. Murders LHP with a 373 average.
Taking Root and Carter would be a great way to get payback on ECU's AD.

Jimmy Keenan is IN the Portal
Send him the MSU catcher swag and welcome to the SEC brochure. This is a top, top player. Cut the NIL on one of these nameless and worthless basketball player that we don't even care about.

St Johns staff Ace for next year, Mario Pesca is in the Portal
6-8 245 kid. RHP
Not incredible stats but wins games. 6-1 w/L with 2.96 ERA. Gets out by making people hit the ball to defenders.
MSU should try to get Soprano kids on the roster. Have Big ***** and Chrissy Multisanti talk to the whister and the shitty umps of the SEC.

Does not work that way. Each sport’s NIL is allocated for. If we get him, cool. If not, then oh well. We have more pressing needs than C. We need MIF’s, corner IF’s, at least one OF, and a couple of SP’s before we start looking at positions we are stockpiled at.

You have no catcher dude. Last year we had a fireman and Pitt's backup catcher stepping up. Now you have a dude recovering from Tommy John. Highfill is athletic enough and powerful enough to DH and even corner IF. A High IQ catcher is like a Utility Knife, almost do-all. Even a GOAT like Bryce Harper went 1B, DH, and OF after TJ. Gives Highfill a full year to recover and go back to catching.

I think with baseball players you get the best you can find and then figure out their positions later.

Agree.
Most can play wherever. You see that in high level travel all of the time.

So far Lemonis has had no luck getting the top end portal guys. He better have some luck this year.

Arguably the top 3B in the portal. A really good pickup for us.

"WHY DO WE FEED THE OPPONENTS AFTER THE GAME!?!"***************************
Everett Kennard will be the first to take credit I'm sure.
