won't be as strong at the top-end talent-wise.


Having players that go 1-2 in the MLB draft make being as strong as the top end pretty much impossible.

Is this team good enough to win the SEC? Host a super? Make it back to Omaha? Win it all again? Have the best pitching staff in the nation?

I think the answer to all of those is most certainly yes.

It will be a different looking team though for sure. We don't have an auto win on Friday, but I think that will balance itself out with having a huge pitching advantage on Saturday and Sunday most weekends. We certainly can hit as many HRs as last year, but that's no guarantee. Defensively we should be as good, or better. I think we certainly have more speed and will run a lot more.

There are 5 outfielders that can play.
Leading the way in the outfield is
Kling
Pearson
9- the transfer
The infields biggest question is who is playing second and there are 3 to 5 guys competing for that spot.
1st base might have 3 or 4 guys see time this year between the DH and catcher rotation.
The pitching is deep but we don’t know who the dogs are yet or if there are any friends n the new comers. That CC will work itself out.
There may be 6/7 left handed pitchers that will see time, a lot of time.

Not sure we can score as many runs as last year, and definitely not sure our pitching can finish as strong as last year. Maybe that’s because we were national champions and and everyone contributed!
The team will be very talented, hopefully they find the formula for success !
