| Next years team will be very talented but very young. Of the 14 commits so far (may lose a few to the draft) I think only 1 is from juco. |

| But is he fast twitch?
All jokes aside, sounds like a good pick up for the team. | |

| In my opinion, he is a much better pitcher than position player.
Pitching: he throws moderately hard, not as hard as you would necessarily expect from someone 6'5. That being said he still has 2 more seasons before college. He has very good command and is not very wild.
Fielding: he is a very good fielder. He covers a lot of ground in the outfield and has a great arm.
Hitting: he's inconsistent at the plate, but has a lot of power. He can hit the gaps,and h can hit homers, but he strikes out and hits pop-ups too often.
Overall, he is a great kid, and one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He should be a great addition for this resurgent baseball program.
GO VOLS!!!! | |
