New faces making a splash

I'll talk about the fielders first.

Tague Davis: The first guy that comes to mind. A true Freshman 1st base/pitcher who looks to have taken the lead at 1st,pushing transfer Nate Early into a battle with transfer Hott at 3rd base.

Davis not only a power hitting lefty but showed some real glove skills over there too. We got this guy for 3 years.🤞

Garret Pike: Pike is deadlocked in a battle with King Jr in right field. King obviously has the inside track opening there first game but Pike is going to be a big part of this lineup. He's not your typical looking power hitter. Tall and slender,he hit 20 dingers at Toledo last season. He's another lefty power hitter.

Kamau Neighbors: Neighbors,another Senior transfer looks to have an edge at second. A slick defender,he is the vocal leader on the field,along with Z. If he can get on base,he's a real base stealing threat,likely causing havoc for the defense.

Tanner Shiver: Versatile infielder who started his college career as a wide receiver at Tennessee Tech. Great glove and arm at short,he could play 2nd too. He's another senior.

Jack Brown: Another Freshman two way player, Brown maybe just needs his chance hitting,but I'm sure he'll be a big part of the bullpen. Him and Davis both. Davis maybe more situationally. Brown has homerun power,like Davis.
Hopefully,we can keep Brown around for 3 years. Another good looking Freshman.

More to come

Touched briefly on the battle going on at 3rd base but mistakenly put 1st baseman transfer Nate Earley in the mix with transfer Bayram Hot. It's actually transfer Jake Munroe who's battling Hot at 3rd.

Munroe has an arm injury so I'm not gonna try to favor one guy over another at 3rd base. They both could end up being the guy there.
Earley is in the battle with Davis at 1st base.

Another Freshman outfielder who has a bright future is Griffin Crain. He might be the best center fielder since Usher. This kid just in a log jam and behind a few others trying to get in the 9 but he's putting on an exhibition out there in the field,which is very near and dear to my heart.

Yall get out and check this guy out as much as possible this Spring. He's only gonna be here for 1 season. Hard for me to see him not in the 9 every day somewhere. He reminds me of a lot of players that have killed us over the years. Deceptive power from a tall,slender build with a swing that makes you sit up and notice.
