Plus you get JJ to coach his hitting so yeah, should see improvement here closer to his freshman campaign if not better.

This is a great JJ pickup
The glove and speed are already there so all he has to do is get his hitting up which is obviously in JJs wheelhouse. We’ll see if we bring any other portal guys or which freshman make it to campus but Braswell is a good start

They have no idea. They just see he hit .250 and thinks he sucks.
I mean yeah, the majority of this board isn’t suiting down each weekend to watch South Carolina games. What else are we supposed to go off of? Over 2 years, he’s hit .271 with 3 HR. Hitting wise, he looks to be pretty comparable to JT, just without the power. Obviously he would be an upgrade defensively though.
Btw, I’m not saying it’s a bad pickup. I don’t know anything about him. But you can’t blame LSU fans for going off of a transfers most recent season, especially when they played in the SEC.

Shelton hit .250 in the sec. He must suck too

What is his fielding stats?

This has Nippolt vibes. I doubt Jay is done in mINF.

Did he visit LSU after super regionals?
No, he was watching the Super Regional and heard Jay Johnson say, “if you are a good player in the portal, this is the place to be.”
Figured he’d sign on the dotted line.

Is it a safe assumption Nippolt will be asked to look elsewhere?

Read the article I linked. The guy who took his job got injured.

Yeah I thought we were supposed to be baseball fans around here.

We are losing both middle infielders, and our heir apparent at SS has turned into a really good pitcher. So I assume he will get 2 to go along with the incoming class

Most posters think anything below a 600 BA is trash...

What did Nippolt show you that says he's capable of hitting .250 in the SEC?
Posted on 6/15/23 at 10:10 am to MorbidTheClown
I have to say all the Opinions on here are empty, I trust JJ!
PS no-one said he was coming in as a starter, we have all seen the negative impact injuries can have.

I know what the stat line was about. But TBH, some fans probably question why are we taking a transfer who hit no better than that shown and inferring there must be some kind of misunderstanding?
We were expecting someone like Tanks.
