I literally hopped on this thread to see if there was any news about Suchy.
that was a guy who stood out on the number sheets

That K to walk ratio I don’t like

I disagree regarding Braun. I would much rather him in LF than 1B. I wasn't very impressed by his defense at 1st. Plus he has a small frame which isn't going to change. He's plenty athletic enough to play LF which is more conventional for his body type.

I dont have the stats, but it feels like he got burned more in the OF than 1B

Glad he's not in the SEC if he's not here.
I’d imagine FSU has some money to spend on baseball considering they have almost entirely given up on football until they can get rid of Norvell

I couldn’t disagree more with this take. Braun was a true freshman who got plugged into 1B midseason due to team necessity, at a position he did not play in high school, despite what the uninformed Perfect Game profile readers claimed.
Though I’m not of the opinion that he was flawless, his fielding percentage would say otherwise. What I saw was someone who played the position solidly for a college level player and above average for a true freshman with very little prior experience. While I don’t think he’d be a bad OF, I also don’t think he has the overall athleticism to be an above average OF. Whereas, given an entire offseason of field work, he does have the capacity to become a consistent above-average defensive 1B, which is more about technique than raw athletic (Tre Morgan was the rare exception here).
Braun’s frame isn’t enormous but 6’0” is more than fine for college, where ability to scoop a ball out of the dirt is vastly more important than having a massive frame. If anything, I don’t see his “body type” fitting the mold of a college OF. Receiving the ball from the left side also helps (a specific play in the SECT comes to mind).
I’m willing to bet on Braun as a long term option at 1B, especially given his bat.

Agree completely, I think of all the IF spots(short of Milam coming back) Braun at 1st may be just about written down in pen.

I wonder if the people that say Braun isn't a D1 1B are the same people who wanted us to hang on to Larson and Costello. Bc he's exactly what we hoped they would grow into.

I think that makes some sense for them. But it doesn't seem like it will create a domino effect.

I think he has the Danny Dickinson toughness/mindset that Jay likes.

Hit 17 homers as a freshman at Florida

I think we'll probably be done on infielders now. The focus will go pitching, but not pass up hitters with positional versatility. On the pitching side, I think we look for some electric/wipe out but polished arms that can extend if needed. With Evans, Schmidt, Moore, and Hood, you still need those Cowan types that can do both.
