Coach always has the guys playing hard. Love the group. How does pitching look?

I haven't heard much. I know we have a lot of new arms.

First day of intrasquads. Live on Twitch at 3:00 for batting practice. First pitch 4:30. @SFA_Baseball #AxeEmhttps://t.co/OwA3zjH716 pic.twitter.com/OVNNOzcKLm

This is a very young team, not many JUCO's

2 seniors
8 juniors
2 sophomores
24 true freshmen

Did they lose a lot of players from last year? Hard to imagine only 12 guys beyond the 24 true freshmen.

Lost 11 seniors off of last season's roster to graduation and many others are just not returning.

The 12 that did return...

RHP COLTON CASTILAW (SR.)
RHP BENNY EMMONS III (JR.)
RHP SKYLER JACO (JR.)
RHP REID BOYETT (SO.)
RHP JOE RICHTER (SO.)

C HUNTER PRESCHER (JR.)
1B ALEX GOMEZ (JR.)
UTL CAL MARTIN (JR.)
OF SCOUT SANDERS (JR.)
OF CLAYTON LORANGER (SR.)
INF PJ VILLAREAL (JR.)
INF PEYTON PARKER (JR.)

Everybody else is new to the team.

Going to be a young bullpen

RHP JASON GONZALEZ 6-4 (FR.)
RHP CADE STAPLETON 6-4 (FR.)
LHP CARTER HINES 6-3 (FR.)
RHP ZANDER RAMEY 6-1 (FR.)
RHP CREW WILSON 6-1 (FR.)
RHP CONNOR WOODS 6-1 (FR.)
RHP DYLAN SAVINO 6-0 (FR.)
LHP SAM TOLLIN 6-0 (FR.)
RHP AARON PLOTKIN 5-11 (FR.)

Should be an interesting season, with Feb. 17 and Kansas State coming to the Nac. to start things off.

Well, we can't do worse than predicted.

What's posted now is much different. Four freshmen, one sophomore, three seniors, and 27 juniors.

I guess the person in charge of entering the names miss classified, which is understandable when they added pretty much an entire JUCO squad of new names thinking they were freshmen.

This is quite the turnover on a roster and pretty much the reason the Jacks are picked last in the WAC.

Gone from 2022

Cal Campbell
Brooks Caple
Will Cerny
Kade Clemens
Sam Connevey
Jaxon Covington
Cameron Crawford
Kyle Cullen
Preston Dallmeyer
Korbin Dennis
Dayton Dewberry
Chaney Dodge
Kanin Dodge
Dillon Eatman
Jacob Evangelista
Karlus Flanagan
Angelo Gennari
Garrett Goetz
Gabe Irwin
Patrick Kudelka
Cully Mangus
Adrian Minjares
Chandler Poell
Martin Rodriguez
Joe Todd
PJ Villareal
Grant Walters
Jake Zarrello

I can't remember the last time SFA was picked dead last in anything. (Well, maybe tennis...) Here's hoping all of those JUCO recruits can jell and surprise some people.

I'll root for them regardless. One day we will have the facilities to compete.

Does anyone know the exact number of players we picked up from JUCOs? Is it 20?

21 new JUCO players, biggest turnover I've ever seen.

Should be interesting to see how it pans out.
