One of the main reasons I started doing the preview was to get information to those who live out of state or those who aren't familar with the team the 411 on the upcoming season.

Mike Lowery (Jr.)
There may not be more of a sure thing at shortstop than Austin Nola. If you've ever seen Austin make one of his many back-handed stabs deep at short and fire it to first you may have been left speechless. After the injection of life in April of 09 that got the Tigers rolling all the way to the title Nola has never looked back. The ALL-SEC performer has high hopes for the season and thus he should. High profile scouts unanimously think that with another solid year at the plate Nola could go anywhere from rounds 5-15. At the plate Nola's still going to be the singles and doubles hitter with a chance to steal a base every now and then, while driving in more runs this season. Mike Lowery, a JUCO transfer from a year ago, finally is healthy enough to play and will back up Nola at shortstop. Lowery brings a left handed bat which will serve well in pitch hitting situations.

Can Nola reach the 7-10 homerun production, i know he was more of a contact, singles and doubles, but I think if he put on a few pounds he may be able to reach that mark this year. Slickest fielding shortstop we've had in a long time.
Posted on 2/4/11 at 10:22 am to Tigerfan19
What are the chances Lowery plays any at another position?
I'd love to see Nola come back next year like Dean did. I'd love it even more if his brother would come.

He certainly is capable, but Nola's a smart hitter and with the new bats going for the Gaudet swings will only do so much. I think he'll be around 4-7 homeruns.

Lowery has played backup a bit in LF. Other than that he's limited to SS or 3B in my opinion.

Nola, I believe, is the key player on this team. With the new bats, we should see more balls inplays, and that puts pressure on the middle defense to turn those batted balls to outs. It's up to Nola to make our pitchers look good.
Just a fantastic defensive player, and his bat has improved every season.

Baloo...The bats are the same size. I am not saying it will not happen but what makes you think that more balls will be in play? You think that more hitters will take the contact approach? Not flaming just asking.

New bats in College ball this year. They have less pop in them. So, the "gorilla ball" aspect is thought to be going down the drain. Hence... More of a contact approach will prob be taken and more line drives in gaps and more stiff grounders in the infield will prob be the result.

The same amount of balls will be put in play this year than last. The only difference will be if the players take the contact approach. I can see him saying that the OF will get more work but SS? I am just asking him a question.
Posted on 2/4/11 at 1:44 pm to LSUIEGRAD13
A contact approach means putting the ball in play. This means that the most common place for a ball to be hit is to the middle infield.

I am sorry I misread the first post you put. My bad.

Nice job Adam.
Not to be picky (b/c some assholes on here get that way and are unappreciative of hard work), but why does Nola get an A and Hanover a B plus? They seem to have graded out the same?
Anyway, looking fwd to the rest!

He hit 5 last year with the hot bats.
So do the math there.
I think he could lead the team in doubles though.
