From N2daWild in another thread:

quote:

I am usually jumping ahead of myself but I have a question for you, if you don't mind. It looks like we will lose a lot of pitchers from the 2020 team. Of the new signees, which pitchers do you see impacting 2021, assuming they are not drafted?


We know for certain we will lose Beck and George, because they're seniors. I feel pretty confident that we will lose Henry and Fontenot. AJ Labas would probably go with a good year. And then Vietmeier, Kaminer, and Storz would probably all go if drafted (speculation of course).

As far as the new recruits that would fill those gaps, we would hope to keep at least one of Money, Floyd, and Murray. And hopefully at least two of Millas, Fowler, and Way. As far as projecting starters vs relievers, I have no idea.

And I'm still hoping we add a JUCO LHP to the class before it's all over.

I feel good about the other guys in the class making it to campus, Mott, Hellmers, Edwards, Coleman, and Rice.

One wildcard is Brody Drost, who could be a two way player. But we're still gun shy about letting that happen for some reason, so I'm waiting to see where he's projected when he steps on campus. My feeling is OF.

Drost is definitely being recruited for his bat
Not sure if he will pitch or not, PM usually doesn't give them much of a chance to do both

When you didn't have a lefty on staff last year, makes you wonder why Cabrera didn't at least get some more time on the mound to see if he could have helped.

Thanks Project, much appreciated.

I think we can add Walker and Hilliard to the draft eligible pitchers. We will need a strong 2020 class for depth in 2021 and for starters in 2022 when we lose Marceaux and Hill. Let's hope the draft is kind to us.

Getting back to 2020. I am really excited about this year coming. Our pitching is talented, deep and experienced. We have a lot of power hitters and a hitting Coach.
