Will Greg Deichmann hit 20 bombs this season?

If he builds on what he has at the end of the season, then yes.

20 is a ton of homers these days.

Hope the young man stays healthy going forward. He struggled with a foot injury most of last year. He has the ability to hit at least 15 HR. Be great if he also hits for a great avg.

No

I say no. The 1997 rocket launcher bats aren't showing up on an equipment delivery anytime soon.....

7 players had 20+ last year so it's not like it's impossible. Deichmann has more than enough power to do it.

A lot depends on who protects Deichmann in the order and how much teams respect the guy behind him.

Let's hope Marnieri doesn't predict him to hit 20. Last year he said deichmann could steal 30-35 bases. He stole 5.

20 is a big number with today's bats but he has the power to do it. Depends on how disciplined he can be and has to stay out of slumps.

I will give him 15, but I only think that if Bryce plays all year will he get to 20 homers.

After speaking with Antoine's father a few months back, and how he expressed from his son's POV how CPM treats people who put the ball in the air...I will only give Deichmann 15+ not 20 though.

Don't think that... Look what happened to Bregman when a minor league coach changed his swing a touch.

It's evident based on the teams that we have put out since the BBCore Era started. No big time homerun hitters, or big fly ball hitters. You can see it in CPM's recruiting as well.

I hope he does. If we make it back to Omaha, I think we have to keep Manieri. There's no way he gets fired if we make it. Even if we get sent home. Firing a baseball coach and having to start a search isn't something LSU can handle right now.
