Final stat update on Nick Coomes:

.360/.455/.682 for the season
26 2b, 2 3b, 13 HR, 16 SB

11% BB rate, 19% K rate, .322 ISO Power

He had a .398 BABIP, which could lead some to believe he was lucky on balls in play. There has been some research though at the lower level minor leagues (because of the talent disparity among players) that suggest BABIP can also be an indicator of quality of contact. I feel like that is a more logical explanation in this case.

He had a .511 wOBA, which may not tell the whole story of his offensive production because the weightings aren't for JUCO peers but for MLB players from around 2010. Same with the 75 Runs Created in 58 games.

Depending on how hard the draft hits us for pitchers (which could be pretty hard) we may be able to snag another free agent like Valek.

North Dakota is dropping their baseball program. Lefty Zach Muckenhirn is the #145 draft prospect according to Baseball America but is looking to land in the SEC for a year before going pro. He's a lefty that beat USC earlier this year. Stuff-wise he's more like Poche than Valek.

I've not seen anything to link him to LSU at all, so this is all speculative. But it's a name to keep an eye on.
