2026 baseball roster thread

Pitching a strength??
Liam is all world only when he is on, just never know when that is.
Hudson, Shore, Singer, Faedo those guys you knew what they would do every game. Liam and Coppola are wild cards they are the Tybos of pitching.
King is gonna be really good next year. He is a flat out baller who love the competition and is solid when he steps on the mound.
Hopefully fielding is better.

 

Matt C?

 

Probably meant Jake C

 

If Jones is good and Lawson makes the sophomore leap, that's a decent start, but we desperately need some dudes lower in the lineup. There was just no SLG down there for most of the season. I wouldn't be surprised to see pretty big turnover at the plate, even with guys who have eligibility remaining.

 

With his injury does Shelton get a bad draft position and come back?

Probably not.

 

Would really like to land 1-2 top tier pitchers that are total studs that have command.
GO GATORS!!!!

 

He is better than that.

 

Do we know what Biemiller’s injury is?

 

I love the pieces we’re getting back I’m not confident in their development unless we get a new pitching coach. Remember what happened with Fisher and Slater last year, and Philpott this year? McNeillie this year didn’t regress like any of them but he did not make the jump he could/should have. I thought he had All-American reliever potential coming into the season.

 

I guess the positive about getting bounced early is that it gives the staff more time to look at portal players.

 

Tend to agree with you but, let's be honest, Kopp is not in charge of the pitching staff. Sully is still the pitching coach in all ways that matter. I don't know if Kopp would do things differently if he had the authority. I must confess I am not impressed with the development part which he is involved with on a day to day basis. JMO but I think Sully needs to surrender control of the pitching to a pitching coach who has authority to run the staff. Between NIL, the portal, recruiting and all of the crap associated with running a D1 program these days, he is (as you said) spread too thin.

 

Well if you look at the Portal Tracker- we are slow off the mark. Tennessee and Vandy have already signed a couple of solid pitchers. Miami a good position player from FIU and so on.

 

Bobby Boser was the best player on this squad .
