Can't wait to see Karl at Coors Field!
Maybe down the road we'll have Karl and Tommy go head to head in the division.
Double steal
Double suicide bunt.
Beat UCLA!
No one drafted Jordan Brewer??
Patience grasshopper.
Good thing Criswell isn’t draft eligible, he may be the best of the 3.
What does this mean for the most playing for Michigan next season? Who do we lose next year besides seniors ? And do we have any seniors with eligibility that will be back ?
They need to replace 2/3rds of our weekend rotation, both these guys were Jrs but expected to go early. Isaiah Paige And Walker Cleveland are front runners to replace them, they’re both freshman, nowhere near as talented as KK and Henry, and neither throw over 90. Criswell is an Ace, he should go early in the draft next year.
They lose 5 bats, 3 of which were 4 year starters (Kerr, Thomas and Lewis), the other big loss going to be jordan brewer, Nelson is the last. Bullock and Bertram proved serviceable and should be good players next year. 1B and 3B are going to be players we’ve never seen on the field before (barring someone switching positions).
They will be inexperienced next year, but the core is talented, they’ve had a couple nice recruiting years so hopefully a couple others can take the reigns.
Yikes sounds like the team will be decimated. Hopefully a young guy or two can become a star quickly.
Thanks for the insight MaineGoBlue. Post more often.
There are a couple of injured guys who should be in the mix for the starting rotation next year. Ben Dragani, the #3 starter as a freshman in 2018 should be back. Don't sleep on Steven Hajjar who was selected in the 21st round of the 2018 draft.
What's the story on Steven Hajjar? He's listed on the roster, but not on the season stat sheet. Injured?
Joey Velazquez, OF
Velazquez hammered a triple into the right-center gap during live action and is a bat that a number of scouts were impressed with, mainly due to his strength. He is a strong kid with a quick bat and showed the ability to drive the ball to all fields as well as make good, consistent contact. Velazquez is an exceptional athlete in the outfield.
Congratulations! This is a great accomplishment for these guys.
They can come back if those teams try to go underslot to sign them but I’d imagine both are gone
Outstanding.
More to come.
