We are now less than 2 weeks away from opening day. I just wanted to start a thread to discuss predictions, questions, expectations, lineups, roles, or anything else UT baseball related.
While we all want more, I think the minimum expectation/goal is to qualify for Hoover. Maybe even stay for more than a game. I think this is a must to take the next step (however small) for the program.
I feel pretty good about our pitching. I think we have more SEC quality arms on the roster than we’ve had in several years.
Some questions I have though: Will Linginfelter be a starter or game on the line reliever? Can he cut down on his walks and throw fewer pitches? Can Sean Hunley continue his freshman year success and push for weekend innings?
We have a core group of junior position players that have played a lot of baseball. They should only continue to get better. Can the jucos/freshmen competing for playing time give significant contributions? Will we be better defensively? Will we have more power this year?
I’m really looking forward to the season starting. I expect Hoover and hope for an outside shot at a regional. Feel free to add anything regarding the upcoming season. This is a catch all thread. I know the baseball forum doesn’t get a ton of traffic, but hopefully this thread can get some traction.
