Decremer had TJ in May 2023 and missed the entire 2024 season.
Had a couple rough early outings this year but started turn it on down the stretch.
Started and worked a season-long five innings, shutting out USC with six strikeouts and two hits allowed in the regional (6/2).
We've had some success with TJ guys a couple years out

PG has him pegged as 105th best in the nation out of HS his senior year. With the way he finished the year I’d say he’s a few months ahead of where we got Jump at a couple years ago injury wise.

Ethan Frey – Says Frey in same situation as Jones. Says he can come back to play a position because you just don’t see a full time DH get drafted.
What’s with the idea that Frey is only a DH? Has he only DHed in summers and HS, too? If a pro team is willing to draft a HS position player, wouldn’t the same team be willing to draft an ultra athletic prospect who they saw play in the field in HS, and they’ve seen refined improvement at the plate vs SEC pitching?
I don’t really see much comparison Frey to Jones insofar as the DH only analysis

I think he was a Catcher in HS and they really don’t love drafting HS catchers unless they have elite hit tools
Frey runs well and is athletics but has looked rough in the OF.
He could absolutely raise his ceiling but is it worth it if he comes back and loses his leverage?

I heard that comparison, as well, and it's the same thing Moscona keeps saying. I disagree completely with the comp. You don't find guys with Frey's size who are nearly as athletic as he is, very often at all. And we know he can hit and hit for power. They will absolutely make an exception and find a place for him, if he wants to go pro. If he wants to come back to prove something, that's his choice, and I'd love it for us, but I don't know what would be in it for him with no leverage left after that.
Jacob Berry got drafted sixth overall, and he was bad defensively, everywhere he played at LSU. So were teams convinced simply because he played defense, even if he wasn't very good at it? Of course not. They believed in the bat. I'm not saying Frey is going in the first round, but I think he's shown more than enough to be a top 4 rounds guy. The short track record is the only thing keeping him from being a day one pick, in my opinion.

What do you mean by short track record? If you put a gun to my head, I’m saying Frey isn’t coming back. Having said that, guys like Ben McDonald and Mahthook have alluded to the idea that he could potentially come back to get reps at a position and if the NIL made sense. It seems unlikely but not as far fetched as some are making it out to be.

I think a lot just aren’t trying to get their hopes up with thinking he’ll come back.

I’d say that’s fair. I’m trying not to as well lol (obviously somewhat unsuccessfully)

One CWS title and the coach eventually got fired. Yeah, that's a superior program.

What do you mean by short track record?
The position thing isn’t going to be an issue. They see the athleticism, size, and metrics. Add those to the production when given the opportunity, or when healthy enough to have opportunities, and teams will feel his best could still be in front of him. He’s probably still on the younger side of 3 year college players as well.

Just speaking for me personally, I don't think the NIL will make sense because I see him going in the Top 3 rounds and getting a close to slot offer. If I'm wrong about where he ranks as a prospect, then sure, the NIL may make sense and he could come back. Here is Jay's quote on Frey:
“Ethan can live in my house if he wants to come back next year, I’ll move into the apartments or dorms like that’s how much I think of Ethan,” Johnson said. “He’s a great player, I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes high in the draft, but if he doesn’t, I’d love to have him, I think he can win the Golden Spikes Award next year if he came back.”

We are also on Troy INF Jakob Wax and San Diego RHP Logan Reddemann.
Posted on 7/2/25 at 8:45 am to WJP23
Wax has been playing college baseball at various levels for what feels like a decade now. If he has eligibility left, I guess he could be a fall practice guy but I don't see him contributing at LSU. He's been fringe at JUCO, redshirted and then just not played at ULM, and then below average at Troy.

He barely played the first two years. The first year, there were just way too many bats in front of him, and last year his shoulder was hurt, which limited his playing time, and undoubtedly affected his swing substantially. So there is only this year to really go on. That gives him a short track record for scouts to evaluate, and determine how much they trust him.
It won't stop him from getting drafted pretty highly, but I do think if he had more history of production he'd potentially be a first day pick, as I said before.
The whole NIL thing is a different story. I don't know how much more they can pay him that he wouldn't get in the draft, and I don't know what Frey's thoughts are. All I can do is look at it from a practical standpoint, and if he comes back, that's great.
