What’s the plan for Evans? Obviously didn’t make the type of leap they hoped from last year, but heavy lies the crown as Friday night guy.
Would love to see him back as the first high leverage guy / closer with chances to throw twice on weekends…

Continue to push forward with starter intention
Y3 is the realistic breakthrough year historically. I think Jay thought he may have been one of those rare Y2 guys, but wasn’t. Same with Schmidt

Good post. Thanks for the breakdown. Moore is coming back due to medical redshirt.

Caraway is back, I know this team is fricked
Feel free to read & understand the context of what I said & spelled out.
It’s funny cause a guy like Eddie Yamin has a bunch of Stans but no one blinks or says the team is doomed if he was brought back lol.

There are fan favorites and there are scapegoats.

Pitching wise, they just really have to focus on guys who have command. We have a ton of guys who have elite stuff, that have top of the rotation potential, but we HAVE to have multiple Cooper Moore type guys who can simply throw strikes when they need to.
It was quite a difference going from 2025 #1 & 2 taking the mound every weekend and dominating to the 2026 #1 - #3 with injuries through out the SEC schedule then Schmidt not able to make his start in Hoover at the last minute. They need to reevaluate what the S&C program needs to improve in an attempt to keep the pitchers able to go.

The first guy out takes a midweek role, which is also important
Midweeks are for freshmen. The first guy out is your primary RP

I would take a catcher with zero power, hits for .225 and doesnt strike out
No catcher is coming in to compete with Bide and Serna. There's no chance you can convince one to transfer into that situation. Your best hope is that those 2 just get better defensively.
The rest of your post is great it you want to finish middle of the pack in the SEC. But what's the point in that? You swing for the fences on talent and hope it pans out so you can win it all

Any incoming freshmen that could be a year 1 SS?

The best incoming infielder, if we get him to campus, is CJ Weinstein. He projects to be able to start right away. But he doesn’t project at shortstop.

Jay isn't going to build his roster counting on any freshman starting. That doesn't mean they won't earn the job.
Right now I can only read their profiles. I can give you a better answer in the fall when I can get eyes on them.

the list of pitchers better than Evans and Schmidt that will be in the transfer portal will be very short
Exactly. And the price of that player will be through the roof.
There’s a lot of fans who just don’t understand how unlikely it is to land a guy like that.

I don't think we need a pitching staff makeover. The talent's there (IMO). What Jay and Yeskie need to be able to do is coach these guys better and make better in-game decisions. And Jay needs to decide is Yeskie is still the man for the task.
