I thought he was a fall All Star and I was correct. When someone hits as many home runs as he did in the scrimmages it is definitely something to monitor. I always felt like he was behind Ross and Powell and he was. He also had some injuries this year as well.
To be honest I was actually a little surprised he entered the portal just because of the fact we were losing Highfill and Powell and the fact he grew up in Starkville and playing at MSU was his dream.
He wasn't great defensively last year. That said, I was never really impressed with Cheese as a catching coach and it will be interesting to see what Kirby does with him and the other catchers we add.
At the end of the day he is what he is- a walk-on caliber catcher who is a good team guy and you need a couple of those on the team.

Good report, I read where he was a good defensive catcher, but like you stated he is the kind of guy teams need. Fact is not everyone we sign or walks on will be a starter. Also, the kid from Va who is a utility player, signed as a catcher, I think his name is James. More news will be coming soon.

Seeing that Campbell Smithwick of Ole Miss, a Catcher and Mississippi Boy is in the Portal.
He hit 357 down the stretch, but we was struggling in the early season.
Highly rated recruit out of HS.
Not One Pass Ball last year. 5 Stolen Base Attempts and 4 Caught Stealing.
Probably going to Tennessee to live the Liam Doyle dream.

He hits pretty well but defense is not Highfill bad but not very good.
6 pass balls and 39 steal attempts and only 4 dudes caught. The Ole Miss kid is better on small sample size.
Ross would have had 20+ pass balls playing all season, 80 steals with 2 dudes caught.

Well, I see we got Bevis. Any chance his friend, Butthead enters the portal and can he play SS or C?******. Hail State in all sports and turn our FB program around this fall, 6-6 and competitive in all losses.

In my opinion yes.
.290 in the ACC is more impressive than .303 in the Big East, plus Sosa has better catching metrics. Milewski threw out 8 guys... and allowed 64 SBs
