It is summer ball so won't put too much into it but we will see.


Summer ball stats are like spring training stats. They only mean something if they're good.

The worst thing about the transfer portal is the fans. And sites like these only make it worse. All of a sudden this site has become the Bible because fans do not know how to filter it

Yeah I was just browsing their overall ratings. As someone who follows college baseball pretty closely, I can obviously see the rankings are flawed. As Thunderbird and others have pointed out, the weight they put on certain things/metrics just doesn't make all that much sense, but I guess in a sport like baseball that looks much more at project-ability than any other sport, you have to be a little innovative with your rankings. I commend them for trying and at least sticking to a (somewhat) objective formula rather than subjective feel based rankings. I just think they need to tweak things a little bit.

Yeah, I'm a fan of his. During COVID he did a webinar thing that I tuned into. I think I was the only non-coach on there. But I enjoyed listening to him talk baseball and development.

A friend of mine played for him at Tulane. Said he was an incredible hitting coach and was very good at getting players to shift their hitting mindset in a way that could maximize their abilities.

Seeing those older jerseys really makes me hope Nike fixes things for next year. Quality took a huge step back this past year

Nike x Fanatics = disaster. I just hope they keep the piping. They're so much better than the plain whites of 2021.

Baseball America podcast I'm listening to right now, from last week, doesn't seem to think Hayden will make it to LSU. Seem to think his commitment (and entering the portal in general) is a leverage play. Mentioned the same about Thatcher Hurd and Janzen Keisel.

With Trey Holly out of the mix, this would be good to add some depth at RB.

I like Matt. I just know where to draw the line with his takes and intel, especially baseball.

My biggest issue with him is when he pats his own back that he has been saying those things as if he didn't get info from other places and just repeated it. He has to give himself credit when the credit is due other places. That's why it was so funny when he did it with the Camden Wicker situation and was completely wrong.

A catcher and then Eyanson if he want's to come here and I think we're done.

ETA: But I don't have any actual info on that. Personally I'd like it if they were able to get Kucherak back into the fold rather than take another portal infielder.

Eyanson becomes that much more important if Hayden jumps to MLB IMO.
