re: Baseball Preview 2024 Edition (Feb 10th - Pro Prospects & SEC Predictions)

For fun, who do yall think had more power, Deichmann as a junior or Jones as a freshman? And a follow up, where did Adam rate Deichmann’s power that year?

Id guess he had deichmann at a 70

Somewhere i envision you having a spreadsheet of all these numbers by position by year analyzing them everyday

just fun who do you think is faster

And let’s not pretend Jones doesn’t hit the ball very hard when he makes contact

He, White & Travinski are on a different plane

Jones' fielding being over 50 is hilarious.

I don’t mind it. I’d prob give him 55 actually. He has good actions there & should come together after a year & offseason of playing there.

He’s athletic (Adam calls him below, don’t agree. Average runner on the general scale, but moves really well for his size) and is flexible for a big guy. He will be fine

He only had 2 errors last year and ended with a .987 fielding %

Why? He's not a bad defensive first baseman. Would he have made the play at home agaisnt Wake Forest, no. But you can't try to compare him to Tre Morgan defensively, that would be like saying, "well Luke Holman doesn't dominate the way Paul Skenes used to." Compare Jared Jones' fielding to other first basemen around the SEC and he fits in just fine.

I dont disagree, his defense was shaky at times, i wanna see if he has improved. Have a few plays that are stuck in my mind, but im also probably comparing him to morgan
