    Baseball Roster is Up - I am surprised

    https://hailstate.com/sports/basebal...?sort=position

    I don't see two big Infield recruits

    (1) SS-Connor Barth from California
    (2) 3B- Henry Allen from Alabama

    I did not see participation in the Fall games. Maybe injured?

    Both were here in the fall and participated in scrimmages. When Barth decommitted from Oregon State (a few weeks prior to committing to us), a lot of their fans said they thought they were dropping him. I guess his performance didn't match his reputation. Also, true freshman Lukas Buckner had a great fall and he plays the same positions as Barth.

    I was at 5 or 6 fall scrimmages and I cant recall Allen doing anything of note.

    What are realistic expectation for Rives in 2025?

    What historical MSU player does he profile as?

    IDK but I hope it's better than his performance in JC. 5.7 ERA in 2024.

    This roster will change by opening day, fyi. It's not final.

    Yes. But it's pretty close. They're going to cut four players. And I can take an educated guess at who those players will be. I think there were some rumors that Loftin might redshirt to recover from injury. Not sure if that's true or not.

    People are probably going to expect Jake Mangum comps because he played at Prep.

    He's probably closer to Elijah MacNamee though. Not saying he has the same clutch gene. Just that his totals will look similar.

    I wouldn't expect much. The fact that he can catch helps his cause.

    Butkner is what they were hoping Barth was. I think Allen is a bigger loss because he had a lot more position flexibility but it obviously didn't work out.

    I hope we don't see Allen (top 150 recruit, #5 state rank, and U-15 USA) enrolled at UGA and hitting 18HR for Mini Me ... while MSU is DH'ing a 200 hitter with infield fly power.

    Saw Lemonis at the KY game sitting behind the goal. I figured he would bring his bucket and sit court side!*****
