Early look at 2018 Baseball


Recommended Posts

While we're waiting on the lightning delay, let's take a look forward. This team took a tremendous leap forward this year, but I believe they have the potential to achieve even more next year. Attrition and early departures can kill the momentum of a program.

This year we have several Juniors that could get drafted. Jonah Todd is maybe the most likely candidate to go pro. Todd was hitting around 400 before the Bama series. Keegan Thompson is another likely candidate given his injury history and the solid year that he has had. He's still only 5-4 (6-4 if we hold on for the win). His last few starts have been shaky, so maybe he still has something left to prove. 

The other key juniors are Dylan Ingram, Josh Anthony, Luke Jarvis, Jay Estes, and Andrew Mitchell. If we bring all (or at least the majority) of these guys back, then we could be really special next year.

Imagine if Palacios, Buentello, and Grier would have stayed for this year....

Keegan is the most likely to go pro if it's based on where they will be drafted & it isn't remotely close. Todd is an awesome player but given his stature he is considered a gritty type player. Small Gritty type players are usually not drafted as high as guys who look the part even though they often times should be..
