Pretty sure Thompson isn’t playing this summer. Why, I don’t know

Reflecting on his infield play all summer.

Next week the Ultimate Baseball Championship kicks off in West Palm Beach, FL. We have a handful of 2022 commits who will attract a lot of attention playing in this heavily scouted event. Concerned we may lose a player or 2 if we don't name a coach soon.

I don't want to read anything negative going on with Thompson but other options are JC Merrifield can play 2nd base and Connor Simon is a star in the making to play SS next year and with good bats as well.

Every once in a while in this thread I will throw a name out there of a (normally JUCO) player that I hope we recruit. Looking on PBR at the JUCO trackman measurements for the various scout days they've done across the country.

There is an outfielder from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M named Mathieu Vallee that was at the top of the list for 60 time (6.26), 2nd in OF throwing velo (95 mph), and also had 95 mph exit velo. His hand speed and bat speed are well above average. I don't think we necessarily need to add a JUCO outfielder to the class, but in the interest of recruiting the best players available, he'd be worth a look.


This kid is now committed to Dallas Baptist.

Have we done the MLB.com top 250 prospect list yet?

Here's the link. If it got posted here somewhere and I just missed it, then - maybe I'm sorry, maybe I'm not.

For those too lazy to pull it up, LSU-connected guys on it are...

35. Jaden Hill
47. Ben Kudma
79. Carter Jensen
86. Landon Marceaux
125. Ian Moller
166. Cale Lansville
176. Brock Selvidge

No Leto, no Connor Simon, no Grant Taylor and no Pearson.

Essentially you have two catchers and three pitchers you have to worry about. Get one of the catchers and one of the pitchers to make it here and you might have all you need for Corbin or Johnson or Vitello to get you to Omaha a year from now.

Someone mentioned football as a risk for Frey. His mechanics in the video should ease those concerns

Looking ahead to the 2022 class and I think the upside with position players is the most impressive we’ve had in a while. Kling in particular looks like a potential superstar. Hopefully we don’t lose any of these guys while they’re waiting on the hire.

I’m wondering if they have someone like Kiel or Fury bumped up to be able to contact recruits right now while things are in flux. I know Mainieri is communicating with the incoming class, but all those guys already signed LOIs, so anyone in the program can talk to them without being an official recruiter.

Kiel graduated and once season ended he is done
He's not a paid coach on staff

Fury is probably handling most of the summer camp logistics and day to day operations to keep program going until new coach is named

MLB Combine Participant List

This is the full list from the MLB PDP site.

I saw Hill, Hampton, Leto, Lansville, Moller, Selvidge. I may have missed someone.

That’s interesting, and a little concerning. It’s a week long event. Could definitely swing some guys’ stock if they perform well.

Maurice Hampton on the list as well
Is he draft eligible?

I don't think he is. But I saw some other guys on the list that I didn't think were draft eligible either.

Found some old articles that said a portion of this is for 2022 draft prospects as well, maybe also including a specific 2022 high school player league later this Summer.

It's kind of like a summer league for prospects
Hampton probably trying to get noticed and I'm guessing he is looking for a landing spot somewhere in college

There has to be a lot more to the Hampton situation than led on. For a player of his status to transfer mid season and not be on a team heading into July, this isn’t just some normal situation.

They're updating the transfer tracker pretty regularly right now.

Brennan Milone from South Carolina is in it now.

Him and Mag Cotto were supposed to be really good but didn't pan out there.

Kentucky catcher Coltyn Kessler is in the portal. Would be a big change of pace at the plate from Milazzo.
