1:27
for the second episode of College Baseball Now presented by
1:32
Prospects Live and as you can see and as you
1:34
will soon hear, I'm not alone joined to craft the
1:38
top twenty five n cua A teams of twenty twenty six.
1:42
Way too early, very preseason. Three of our finest analysts
1:46
on the Prospects Live amateur team. We're gonna start, of course,
1:50
with our guests from last time. He may be joining us.
1:52
He may not be a new name, but he is
1:54
a great name and we're happy to have him with us.
1:57
Jake Barjorie, Jake, what did it do?
2:01
Speaker 6: Hey, Drew, thanks again for having me on. I'm excited
2:04
to talk about to get into the discussion today about
2:09
you know, some some top twenty five.
2:12
Speaker 2: College teams.
2:13
Speaker 6: Ready, I'm ready to get into it.
2:15
Speaker 1: I think we're ready to get into it. Man. I
2:17
love your hat, and I know that you and I
2:19
are not particularly excited to talk about one bit of news,
2:23
but the horrors persistence, so too must we joining us
2:27
as well. He you can be found on the Twitter
2:31
machine at JB Underscore Sebastiano. Probably gonna ruin the ruin
2:35
the suspense a little bit, but it is JB. Sebastiano JB.
2:38
Hey Man, what's up?
2:40
Speaker 3: Hey, Thank you, Drew. I'm really excited to be on.
2:43
Speaker 7: I'm excited to chat up with everybody about the Top
2:45
twenty five joining us.
2:47
Speaker 1: As well, and magically somehow now on the left side
2:50
of your screen technology, How does it work joining us
2:54
as well? The chisel jaw line, the bright and shining
2:57
grin of Josh Catlet, Josh, thanks for joining us, man,
2:59
how you do it?
3:01
Speaker 8: Not too mut of a chisel jawline? Very often that
3:04
I'll take it. I'm excited to sit in here and
3:08
talk about Top fifteen twenty teams that I think there's
3:11
about fifteen twenty teams that I think can probably actually
3:15
make a run of this thing this year, and they're
3:16
really close in a lot of ways. I'm excited to
3:18
get into it.
3:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly a lot to cut up and break down
3:22
in terms of the top teams. I say to jump
3:24
right into the episode because we're talking today about a
3:27
preseason Top twenty five way too early, obviously, very predictive,
3:32
very assumptive in a lot of ways, and yet it's
3:35
something that we're gonna have a lot of fun with.
3:36
So what we did for a little bit of behind
3:38
the scenes for you guys, I had each of these gentlemen, Josh,
3:41
JB and Jake all give me a list of anywhere
3:45
between ten and twenty five of their top college baseball
3:49
teams for twenty twenty six. So I have aggregated those
3:54
and guys, so that you know, I also chipped in
3:57
my top twenty five. But for the for the aggregate,
4:01
I gave all of you two answers, me one, so
4:03
your two is equal to my one. I trust your
4:06
opinion more than my own, so that is why I
4:09
did that. But alas, let's get into our top three.
4:13
That's the teams we're talking about. First number one from
4:16
the aggregate. Guys, it's gonna be LSU. Number two. We're
4:22
talking about UCLA, number three, Texas. So all of these teams,
4:28
though the aggregate was very close within point four of
4:33
one another insane margin there, insane margin. It actually was,
4:38
believe it or not, the rogue Drew vote that screwed
4:41
up almost a direct tie among them. So I will
4:45
take a little bit of credit for that, unfortunately, but
4:48
each of you had a different number one team. So
4:50
I would love to talk about some of these teams. Jake,
4:53
we're gonna start with you. Ucla was your number one team.
4:57
I'm curious why did you rank them number one?
5:02
Speaker 6: You know, putting you see that number one, might you know,
5:05
it seems kind of like a I don't I don't
5:07
want to say a cop out, but they're they're they're
5:09
a really hot team right now and a lot of
5:11
people have them at the top of in the nation,
5:14
and uh, that's the same for me. They're in a
5:17
unique spot where they're returning nearly an entire roster that
5:21
made it to Omaha last year. Obviously, you know, it's
5:25
led by Rock Schlawski. We know about him, We've talked
5:27
about him, uh quite a bit to this point. But
5:31
they're also returning you know, Mulva, Levu, Roman, Martin, Dean
5:35
West in that line up. Those are all key pieces
5:39
to that Omaha on that that are that are on
5:41
their way back. That's not to mention that they're adding
5:44
uh outfield er Will Gasparino from Texas to the mix
5:48
as well. Uh likely you know, man center field for them.
5:55
On the pitching side, I see, at least you know,
5:58
there's like six potential guys that could break into their rotation.
6:01
Speaker 2: Probably gonna be headlined by Michael Barnett.
6:04
Speaker 6: He's given them eighty plus innings back to back seasons.
6:07
He'd probably expect more of the same from him. They
6:12
also bring in Logan Rediman from San Diego. Last year
6:16
he had nine starts with a two to two nine.
6:18
Speaker 7: E ra A.
6:21
Speaker 6: And they're also bringing in a literal second round pick
6:24
from last year on Angel Servantes, you know, mid mid
6:27
upper nineties. I've heard rumors that he's been a little
6:29
bit higher than that easy plus change up a couple
6:32
of breakers that's flashed plus, and I think he's got
6:35
every chance to make that rotation as a freshman. You know,
6:41
Coach Savage, he's a phenomenal coach also, and he's got
6:43
a lot of fun tools at his disposal to make
6:46
another Omaha run.
6:48
Speaker 1: That's a lot of ingredients for a really dangerous team.
6:52
And dude, how funny is it, Jake, that we've had
6:54
let me count this really quickly one other episode of
6:58
college Baseball now, And as you said, you've talked exclusively
7:01
and extensively about Rock Schilawski thus far.
7:04
Speaker 2: But he is very talented.
7:05
Speaker 1: With a guy like that lead in the ship, it's
7:07
hard not to get excited for them, JV. I know
7:09
you've got some thoughts on UCLA. I'm curious what do
7:11
you make of them as maybe a number one overall
7:13
team candidate.
7:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, So, being as someone that was from California originally,
7:19
I lived in southern California, grew up doing the UCLA
7:22
games for a bit before moving out here in North Carolina. Now, UCLA,
7:27
as savage, has built a great environment there for them
7:29
to win games for a long time now. And personally
7:32
in high school I played against some of their guys
7:34
that they had, their Roman Martin and Dean West. Roman
7:37
Martin kind of broke onto the scene. He was a
7:39
top draft prospect in his class, could have played shortstop,
7:43
got moved over because obviously they have the number one
7:44
player in the class. Schaulawski is an incredible shortstop there,
7:47
but Martin's another twenty plus homer bat for them, on
7:50
top of Dean West being a guy who's at the
7:52
top of the order thirty plus stolen based threat, great
7:55
all around player that they have, and UCLA is just
7:57
probably one of the deeper teams in the country and
7:59
playing in such a week Big Ten Conference, I think
8:01
it really helps them push their ability to get into
8:04
the College World Series and kind of gain one of
8:06
those top eight national seeds. So I think the UCLA
8:09
is definitely a great contender. I think when it comes
8:11
down to it, maybe it's a tougher schedule for them
8:14
in the playoffs again since they do play worst competition.
8:16
But I think UCLA is one of the deeper teams
8:19
in the country.
8:20
Speaker 1: Well said, hey, you got gotta think so for coming
8:23
from a SoCal boy, We'll take that with a little
8:25
extra emphasis as well. Jabble stick with you man. You
8:29
have betrayed the acc Someone stopped the presses that you
8:32
have selected LSU as the number one team in the nation.
8:36
I'm curious, why do you have the Tigers as your
8:40
number one squad?
8:42
Speaker 8: Yeah.
8:43
Speaker 7: So this summer, actually I was at some of the
8:45
USA eight and Union Collegiate nationally games. I got to
8:47
meet Jay Johnson and talk to them a little bit
8:49
about his transfer class. And he's an incredible guy, one
8:53
of the best coaches in college baseball, and he's done
8:55
great in the portal as well. Seth Dardar, we played
8:57
against Kansas State here at UNCREAT all around hitter, graduate guy,
9:01
very dance approach. Should saw you saw a guy in
9:04
their lineup along with Zach York who they added their
9:07
two plus bats that you added at the.
9:09
Speaker 3: Corner at first base. Two options for them.
9:11
Speaker 7: I also Curry Out I was big on him, played
9:14
against him as well in high school. And Trey Caraway
9:16
another kid who I played against and had some big
9:19
upset Oregon State some downs with the injuries.
9:21
Speaker 3: I think he's.
9:21
Speaker 7: Definitely a breakout can it for them? And Braden Simpson
9:24
right for my backyard at high Point. I think they
9:26
just added a ton of talent on top of having
9:28
Maverick Rizzy and William Schmidt, Jaden Knew who was another
9:32
California kid. Just a lot of big arms and a
9:34
lot of high end talent on this team. So I
9:37
think it's hard to beat the Tigers. But obviously there
9:40
hasn't been a raining back to back champion in a
9:42
long time, so I think they deserved the right to
9:44
defend their crown.
9:45
Speaker 3: But it's gonna be hard for them to climb the mountain.
9:48
Speaker 1: I think it certainly will. We definitely know that LSU,
9:52
like you said, does have that mountain to climb. More
9:56
than just the season, they have the added pressure of
9:58
defending their title do it. I don't know. They have
10:01
squad full of dudes that JB played against, which means
10:04
they must be pretty good. Josh, We're gonna kick it
10:06
to you man from one SEC squad to another. A
10:11
team that my bias for is doing very well to
10:15
be hidden thus far. It may come out here. I
10:18
hope it will not. We'll have to see what happens.
10:20
No promises. Why in the world would you rank Texas
10:23
as the number one team?
10:27
Speaker 8: Well, they were number one team in the country for
10:29
most of the season last year, and they're turning a
10:32
lot of names that you recognize. It all starts with
10:34
the pitching staff. It's a bunch of guys that the
10:37
average college baseball fan that was watching this team last
10:40
year is gonna remember these names from Dylan Valantis, SEC
10:44
Freshman of the Year, Luke Harrison, Ruger Riojas, Thomas Burns,
10:49
a lot of guys in that pitching staff that are
10:50
coming back, and with as great of a coaching staff
10:53
as Texas has with Slashnagel and Max Wiener, I think
10:56
they can develop those guys even further and become a
10:59
little more con sent to take it into the postseason. Also,
11:03
along the lineup side of things, I think there's a
11:06
lot of transfer guys that are going to come in
11:08
and catch people off guard that aren't really paying attention
11:11
in the offseason, like.
11:13
Speaker 2: Carson Tenny Aiden Robbins.
11:15
Speaker 8: Those are two names that have really caught the attention
11:17
of a lot of national college baseball people.
11:20
Speaker 2: Carson Tenny undeniable power, a.
11:23
Speaker 8: Little questionable hit tool, but he's great behind the plate,
11:25
undisputed one of the best catchers in the class. Aiden Robbins,
11:28
everybody has fallen in love with at the Cape. He
11:31
was the I think he won the batting title up
11:34
there this summer, and he came and he really overperformed
11:37
in the fall games that people have seen from him.
11:39
There's also some names that, like I said, people that
11:42
just watched college baseball last year will recognize coming back.
11:45
Adrian Rodriguez.
11:47
Speaker 2: You know, guys like Ashton Larson, who has championship DNA
11:50
from LSU. That always helps. It can't hurt at least.
11:53
Speaker 8: Adrian Rodriguez is maybe gonna be the number one pick
11:57
and the twenty seven draft, So just keep an eye
12:00
on that. I guess it's a lot of pieces that
12:03
I think are going to come together and will end up.
12:05
I mean, they'll have to go through a rigorous confidence
12:08
like they always have to in the SEC. But if
12:10
they were able to do it last year and get
12:12
the number two overall seed and hold the number one
12:14
spot for most of the year. I don't see why
12:17
they can't come back and do it again. With as
12:19
deep a pitching staff as they have, as cohesive of
12:22
a unit as they had last year.
12:24
Speaker 2: I think they can go and run it back and
12:26
deep a run this year.
12:28
Speaker 1: Well said, you know, we have talked. Jake and I
12:31
on the last episode talked about both Tenny and Robbins
12:34
as being dynamic top twenty five, top fifty college bats
12:39
for the draft in this upcoming season. Guys like Ruger,
12:42
Guys like Dylan Valantis, though stuts last year, Guys that
12:46
are undeniably big, big time arms, so to say, you
12:53
take notice when they're on the mound. At least I did.
12:55
I don't want to speak for you, guys, but I
12:57
certainly did. Valantis may be my favorite player not on
13:02
the University of Tennessee Volunteers, as a fan. I should
13:05
say that says a lot about him. Speaking of the
13:07
Tennessee Volunteers, guys rounding out the top five, at number four,
13:10
we had the Volunteers and at number five the Arkansas Razorbacks.
13:14
Just recap the top five four you at home, number one, UCLA,
13:17
two LSU, three the University of Texas for the University
13:21
of Tennessee, and five the Arkansas Razorbacks. Gentlemen, let's look
13:26
beyond beyond the top five, though. I'm gonna ask you
13:30
all for a one sentence answer, and I will permit
13:32
like a semi colon or an m dash or whatever here,
13:36
so you can give me more than just like six
13:37
words or whatever. But in a one sentence answer, which
13:41
team that's currently outside of our top five do you
13:44
think could reasonably hang with any of those top five
13:48
any day of the week. Josh, We're gonna start with you.
13:50
Speaker 2: Who you got, I'm gonna say Georgia Tech.
13:54
Speaker 8: There is too much talent in that lineup for them
13:57
to not be able to hang with anyone they match
14:00
up with.
14:00
Speaker 2: Whether it be a midweek or a weekend game.
14:03
Speaker 1: Very nice, JB. Who you got?
14:07
Speaker 3: I have Florida State.
14:08
Speaker 7: If you put Trey Beard and West Mendes together and
14:10
you add a good, solid core of a lineup coming
14:13
back again, I.
14:14
Speaker 3: Think it's tough. I think they're a great team.
14:16
Speaker 1: It's nasty for sure, Jake, were you looking at here? Man?
14:22
Speaker 6: I'll round out our trio of ACC teams, and I'll
14:24
take Virginia in one word, I can say transfers in between,
14:29
you know, whether it's coaches or players. They brought in
14:32
a phenomenal transfer class, Duke especially, but they have a
14:37
good group of returners as well.
14:38
Speaker 2: I think they've got a lot of great pieces over there.
14:41
Speaker 1: Certainly do interesting In our oops all ACC answers there,
14:48
we did actually name a lot of the top ten.
14:50
So let's go ahead and round out that top ten.
14:52
We just gave you the top five and so six
14:55
at home, guys, Georgia number seven, Florida State eight, George
15:00
Tech number nine, the University of Florida number ten, the
15:03
University of Virginia. Josh, we're gonna go back to you here.
15:08
Georgia ranks number six for US as a as a unit.
15:11
Between the four of US, I guess technically you had
15:14
Georgia ran fourth, though, I'm curious if you could tell us, man,
15:17
what are the Bulldogs have working this year? I know
15:19
it is one of the most dynamic transfer classes in
15:22
the country.
15:24
Speaker 8: Yeah for sure. I know they don't have a track
15:26
record recently of making deep runs in the postseason. They
15:29
haven't been to Omaha since eight, I think. But if
15:32
there's a team that's gonna do it, I think it
15:34
might be this one because on paper, it's probably the
15:37
best transfer class, and it might take them a little
15:40
while to jail, but eventually I don't see how they
15:43
don't get there. They're gonna have a starting rotation that
15:45
is just loaded, Joey Volsko coming from Stanford, Ky Naoki
15:50
coming from USC and another Stanford guy, Matt Scott. That's
15:54
more than likely gonna be the week in rotation. And
15:56
those are proven guys at a Power Conference level that
16:00
are seen as good for at least Vultko I've seen
16:02
as a good enough prospect he's gonna be able to
16:04
do it at the next level two. But I don't
16:06
see why all three of those guys, along with the
16:08
decent bullpen can't carry it over to SEC play. Also,
16:12
they have a lot less He got a lot of
16:15
transfer guys just kind of like the starting rotation, Jordi
16:19
Oriach coming from New Mexico, Guys like Bryce Callaway from
16:23
New Orleans.
16:24
Speaker 2: Both dudes that just put up ridiculous.
16:26
Speaker 8: Numbers at a lower level last year should probably come
16:28
and translate to the SEC level. I mean there's even
16:31
a guy like what like Jack Arkamone that might not
16:34
even start. He'll be the DH maybe, but he won't
16:37
even be the best guy behind the plate for them.
16:38
They're going to be probably a competition in fall for that,
16:41
I would imagine, which shows a lot about the depth
16:44
of this lineup and our injuries. Like any sports team
16:47
can say, I don't see why they can't put the
16:49
pieces together by the end of the season, and all
16:51
the talent just overcomes everything else.
16:54
Speaker 1: I like that response, And man, you're absolutely right, there's
16:58
so much talent. Who's to say that that just if
17:00
it's talent versus talent. Georgia maybe one of the best
17:03
squads in the whole country, So hey, you may be
17:05
onto something ranking them number four, Jimmy, we're gonna kick
17:08
it to you. Man. You had another SEC team ranked
17:11
number four, the Florida Gators, a team that I ranked
17:15
pretty highly. Ironically, I'm not sure whether that means I
17:17
should feel better about myself you should feel worse about yourself.
17:20
That's not the question. The question is why are the
17:23
Gators such a dangerous team this year?
17:26
Speaker 5: Yeah?
17:26
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to bet against Kevin O'Sullivan.
17:29
Speaker 7: I know they had a rough year last year, but
17:31
that team they always find a way to make it Domaha.
17:33
And they got a lot of new talent on this
17:35
team to supplement.
17:36
Speaker 3: With the talent they already had.
17:37
Speaker 7: Carson Bowen from TCU certified catcher who will be great
17:41
for them behind the plate. Ethan suriek from Ole miss
17:44
is another guy that will be great for them. Then
17:46
you bring back Kate Curlin. You also have Kyle Jones
17:48
who broke down in the Cape. Blake Seer, a guy
17:50
who I ranked really highly out of Miami transfers there
17:54
kind of had it up and down a year. I
17:55
think he could bounce back and produce a little more.
17:57
And then he got Ian Peterson and Luke Neely on
18:00
the mound coming back, along with transfer from UCF Russell Sandeffer.
18:04
I think it's a lot there for them to build around,
18:06
and I think they have one of the better cores
18:08
for the Gators that they've had in a long time.
18:10
Speaker 3: So I think they'll be a really talented team.
18:12
Speaker 1: I think so too. It's interesting you run up Carson
18:15
bow and one of my favorite interviews from last year.
18:17
That kid is a baseball rat who I really fear
18:20
he has maybe stumbled into the worst look outside of
18:24
the Drew Wheeler universe in human history, and so I
18:28
would love to see him succeed. I remember when I
18:31
interviewed him, I said, are you maybe looking at anywhere?
18:33
And so he said, yeah, it might be. And then
18:36
I actually DMed him when he committed to Florida and
18:38
told him he was very close. He picked orange, but
18:41
the wrong complimentary color either way, glad to shout him
18:44
out on the show, Carson, what's up? Florida is going
18:47
to be a squad? Like you said, Man Blake's seer
18:49
such talent in the guy, and if it was an
18:51
up and down year, I wonder what the true talent
18:53
level is. And I think Florida is going to be
18:55
excited to see Josh, You've got some notes on the
18:58
University of Florida as well. I guess we're just chop
19:00
Paul show.
19:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've actually got a fun little game. I don't
19:04
know what I want to call it a game or
19:05
a question for y'all. I want to throw it at
19:07
she'all just see what it's like. I'm gonna list off
19:11
a lot of or like a few Florida pitchers, probably
19:14
the most relevant ones that I can think of. Hopefully
19:16
I don't butcher any names. I want to see if
19:18
someone can tell me what they all have in common.
19:20
If you'll think you'all can figure it out all right,
19:23
Leam Peterson, Aiden King, Russell, sanderfer Luke McNeely, Jackson, Barbary,
19:30
Matthew Jenkins, Josh right, No Nower and Billy Barlow.
19:34
Speaker 2: What do all of those guys have common?
19:40
Speaker 1: Anyone I know it? I just want to see if
19:44
they know it.
19:45
Speaker 2: I really really.
19:47
Speaker 8: They are all right handed pitchers, So I don't know
19:51
how much it's gonna matter when it comes down to
19:54
the stretch or sorry, throughout the course of the regular season,
19:57
but I think that when you get down to the postseason,
19:59
when it's all hands on deck of these last minute games,
20:02
if you're facing a lineup with you know, a lot
20:05
of lefties, who's gonna be that left handed picture that
20:07
you're going to actually be able to throw out there and.
20:09
Speaker 2: Encounter a little bit because all of their.
20:11
Speaker 8: Guys at the end of the day, if you can
20:16
hear that train in my ear by the time, So sorry, yeah,
20:20
I don't know how much.
20:21
Speaker 1: We could, but that's okay, we could. That's okay. I
20:23
feel like I feel like the train was delivering the
20:25
lefty that Florida needs.
20:27
Speaker 3: It's just going.
20:29
Speaker 1: On the train.
20:30
Speaker 2: I've learned a like at night, I sleep right through it.
20:33
During the day, you can't ignore. You have to stop
20:35
what you're saying at all times.
20:37
Speaker 1: God went across matters all rightys? Uh so kind of
20:41
like earlier, welling there, I was about say yes. I
20:45
don't know how Josh cued the sound effect, but it
20:47
was insane and well done on him all the rightys.
20:51
I know earlier we were kind of oops, all A
20:53
C C has Florida, Jake, have they accidentally gone oops?
20:56
Al righties? And if so, it could that work?
21:02
Speaker 6: You know? I mean I think I think like Josh said,
21:05
I mean, you're not you have to think it's gonna
21:07
work because they're all really good arms. But like you're
21:09
not really going to know until you get that test
21:11
if you face the lineup full of lefties, right, you know?
21:15
Certain you know, I feel like guys like Peterson and
21:18
King and McNeely and the other names that you mentioned,
21:22
I feel that they can compete with with any hitter
21:24
in the countries.
21:25
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's you have to expect it to.
21:28
Speaker 6: Work and proven otherwise, right, I think so.
21:31
Speaker 1: I think that's a very fair assessment. Guys. Let's move
21:36
from let's move from the six through ten range. Let's
21:38
talk eleven through fifteen. A lot more talented teams. They
21:41
just keep coming. Number eleven, we've got the University of
21:45
North Carolina take a shirt off, way around your hair
21:49
like a helicopter. TCU at twelve, Auburn at thirteen, Clemson
21:54
at fourteen, Texas A and M. The Aggies at number fifteen.
21:59
Convenient grouping. Anybody that knows this group of guys would
22:02
particularly agree. And odd grouping. I can say for certain,
22:06
I'm not I'm not trying to butter either of you
22:08
guys up by putting your teams or I just think
22:10
they're talented. Jake, we will start with you, though, you
22:14
buddy had TCU raked fourth. These two guys, they had
22:19
some of our guys Georgia Florida ranks at four. You
22:22
wake kind of off the off the grid with the Horned
22:24
Frogs at number four A team. I really like a
22:27
lot of talent there. What do you like about the
22:29
horn Frogs, Jake?
22:33
Speaker 6: You know I'll start out saying I'm not affiliated with
22:35
TCU in any way, but.
22:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
22:41
Speaker 6: I do like the horn Frogs. I do like what
22:42
they have this year. You know, they made the they
22:44
made the Big twelve championship game. Last year, made it
22:48
to to a regional loss to lost in Corvellis to
22:52
a future Omaha team in the Beavers.
22:56
Speaker 2: Well they did.
22:57
Speaker 6: You know, they lost a few arms in the draft,
22:58
but overall they did a pretty good retaining uh, most
23:01
of their talent in the portal. They're returning, uh the
23:05
stud trio of outfielders and Sawyer Straws Snyder who is
23:09
you know, by all means a future first round pick,
23:12
Chase Brunson, maybe another future first round pick, and Noah
23:15
Franco running out that Uh, that outfield and their rotation
23:21
is gonna be led by Tommy Lapour. Last year he went.
23:24
He gave him ninety innings with a three on nine
23:27
e r A and eighty eight strikeouts. They're also bringing
23:31
back Mason Brassfield and and a plethora of transfers. An
23:35
interesting uh got to watch for that pitching staff is
23:39
gonna be freshman Julie Fernsler.
23:43
Speaker 2: I think he's got a good chance to break into
23:44
that rotation as a freshman.
23:46
Speaker 6: You know, a big body, uh, mostly low nineties quality
23:50
change up slider. I think, you know, I think he
23:52
could get that Sunday spot. And just overall they have
23:57
uh an experienced core group and they have a good
24:00
chance of anybody to make my opinion love it.
24:03
Speaker 1: Hey, I think so. A couple of notes there, man
24:06
Tommy Lapoort brings the funk. This guy I might as
24:08
well have like the Seinfeld based the boom boom, boom
24:11
boom just behind every pitching throws because it's so funky.
24:14
I love this guy. And then you said a minute
24:16
ago he ran through that outfield, and you said round
24:19
it out by Noah Franco. I think that statement in
24:21
and of itself is such a testament to that outfit.
24:24
How much talent do they have there? Obscene amounts of
24:28
talent in the TCU outfield. They're gonna be a threat. Man,
24:31
those old horned frogs. And you said a minute ago
24:33
you're not affiliated with them yet. Maybe that's a sort
24:37
of things to come. Eh. Let's move forward though North
24:42
Carolina JB. You have been affiliated with this team. Some
24:48
have connected the dots and say you work for the team.
24:51
M maybe a little bit of bias there, but that's okay.
24:55
I'm gonna ask you a question. I'm pretty sure this
24:57
is one you could field. Here are some of the
25:00
biggest surprise threats. I know that this is a team
25:03
that's got a lot of returning dudes, a lot of
25:05
talent up and down this roster. Who are some dudes
25:08
that maybe were overlooking that could pop off and really
25:11
surprise folks this year, maybe on both sides of the ball.
25:14
Speaker 7: Yeah, so hop third a couple of them here. So
25:18
finished up a scrimmage last week against Anti State. The
25:21
guy who started that game, coming back after a season
25:24
where he was out of the bullpen. More had Tommy
25:27
John in his freshman season. Folger bow as the guy
25:30
that has been a big part of this team, big
25:32
left handed arm for US.
25:33
Speaker 3: I think that he's made some adjustments.
25:35
Speaker 7: He looks good, throwing a lot of strikes, cleaned up
25:37
some of the delivery, and pitched us it. I think
25:39
that he's the guy that probably starts on Sunday for US. Also,
25:42
the fight with him is Early en Rollie, seventeen year
25:45
old cading globber from South Carolina, he was up to
25:48
ninety seven the other day against NT State, So he'll
25:51
be a fun arm to see. Loose, quick, quick, whippy
25:53
arm action. I mean, he's got it all. Probably would
25:56
have been a top three round draft pick if he
25:57
stayed in high school. On top of that, we move
26:00
across the ball, brought a lot of chansfers on the
26:03
offensive side. Jake Shafner from North Dakota State is a
26:06
great defensive infielder that we have. He's also shown top
26:08
of the order ability for US. Owen hole from George Mason,
26:11
another guy who's got some thump in the battle will
26:13
take over centerfield. And a sleeper from Iowa Iowa Jico
26:18
is Cooper Nicholson. He'll probably play third for US.
26:21
Speaker 3: He's probably been.
26:21
Speaker 7: One of our best hitters all fall, been one of
26:24
the most polish editors we've had here in a while,
26:26
So I think it'll.
26:27
Speaker 3: Be very interesting to see what we do as a team.
26:30
Speaker 7: But those are a couple of names for North Carolina
26:32
that it will definitely stand out and be some names
26:34
you want to remember for this spring.
26:36
Speaker 1: Is there any chance, JB you can give me one
26:39
sentence on my favorite player from the UNC squad?
26:41
Speaker 2: Last year.
26:45
Speaker 7: Who that is McDuff Yeah, yeah, McDuffie. I think he's
26:52
gonna be He's gonna be back again. He'll probably be
26:54
in a similar role again, most likely to be high
26:57
leverage for us. You'll probably seehim out of the pen
26:59
with that nasty slide and just pumping up the crowd.
27:02
Speaker 3: High energy guy.
27:03
Speaker 7: He is definitely probably gonna be back there along with
27:06
Matthew mcthy so he'll be coming back this year office surgery.
27:09
Speaker 3: So I think it'll be a good tandema, good deo
27:11
for us as well.
27:12
Speaker 1: To depend you gotta love it, well, I guess you
27:16
gotta love it for any other team. But I guess
27:18
you don't have to love it. But that's just as well.
27:21
Shall we Shall we flip it to you? Josh? I
27:25
know you have worked very closely with the autumn baseball squad.
27:29
You've got a lot of intel on tons of these dudes.
27:31
I think one of the first things I said to you,
27:33
Josh what we met, was about how one of my
27:35
favorite players in college baseball is bub Terrell, and you said, oh, yeah,
27:39
Bub's a great kid. You got tons of stories. So
27:41
I'm gonna pitch you something similar to what we did
27:43
jab Who are the underrated guys. Who are the guys
27:45
that maybe the national circuit is looking past. Who could
27:49
surprise us this year.
27:53
Speaker 8: I'll say a couple of the transfers are gonna come
27:56
in and perform really well.
27:58
Speaker 2: Come from the mid mejor level.
28:00
Speaker 8: Ryan Farber is probably gonna be the starting shortstop coming
28:03
from Texas State. He's got a great hit tool, puts
28:05
the bat on almost everything that comes in the zone.
28:09
Should be really reliable, good defender at the shortstop. I
28:12
think he should be able to get to almost everything
28:14
that comes that way. Is gonna fill right in for
28:16
Derek Favian and Eric Snow that kind of rotated in
28:18
that spot last year.
28:20
Speaker 2: Along those lines, on the other.
28:22
Speaker 8: Side on the mound, Drew Whalen, coming in from Western
28:24
Kentucky Conference USA Pitcher of the Year last year, has
28:28
a great five pitch mix.
28:29
Speaker 2: Don't see how it doesn't translate to the SEC. He
28:32
was a real dominant guy for most of the year
28:34
last year.
28:35
Speaker 8: Got lit up a little bit in the postseason, but
28:37
that's just a small sample size.
28:38
Speaker 2: You don't know how it can turn around the Auburn
28:41
team as a whole.
28:41
Speaker 8: I think it's gonna be not as much of a
28:45
loss in terms of pieces as people may think, because
28:48
you know, big names like Ike Irish, Cooper McMurray, names
28:51
that college baseball fans know they're gone gonna be a
28:54
little tougher to replace. I think guys like Chase Freyli
28:57
bub Terrell that were in that twenty seven draft cloud,
29:00
both sophomores are gonna step right up and improve their
29:02
game like they continue to do throughout the end of
29:04
last year. Chris Rembert, which we all know, also the
29:07
sophomore but draft eligible this year, He's gonna be great
29:10
in the second base position, probably the most reliable guy
29:13
on that entire team. A lot of debt from the outfield,
29:16
with Bristol Carter k Belou probably gonna fill in those
29:19
other two spots. First base could be a bit of
29:21
a question at this point. The only real question, maybe
29:24
besides bullpen dep how do freshmen step up? The freshmen
29:28
were the big storyline last year, how they stepped up
29:30
out of.
29:31
Speaker 2: The bullpen and in the field.
29:33
Speaker 8: As a matter of can the freshman this year live
29:37
up to that kind of level again? For my money,
29:40
I think it's probably gonna be a little bit of
29:41
a step down in that sense. But the freshman like
29:43
Christian Chatterton Andreas Alvarez on the mound probably gonna step
29:47
into a weekend role this year. Can they continue to develop?
29:49
That'll be the bigger question of can the guys on
29:53
the mound pick up where they left off last year?
29:57
Can they continue to develop a little bit more as
29:59
guys like Sam Dutton have left and you know, left
30:02
the program in kind of a spot where you need
30:04
to fill on using transpergencing freshman kind of like that
30:06
it last year will replicate the same kind of results.
30:10
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting because if I'm if I'm picking up
30:13
what you're throwing down regarding the pitching, it might be
30:16
a little bit of a baptism by fire for them.
30:18
I mean, obviously, you know the SEC is gonna provide
30:21
a tough, tough series every weekend for any team, let
30:25
alone you know, an Auburn team who you said, we're
30:28
looking for growth, and we should see a lot of
30:30
substantial growth and a lot of key players this year.
30:32
It's gonna be interesting. I'm curious to see how they do,
30:35
and I appreciate those insights. Man, you can't can't get
30:37
this anywhere else, Guys, you're only getting right here on
30:39
college baseball now from UNC and Auburn, and me and
30:43
Jake are also here. Jake, let's talk about these next guys,
30:47
Man sixteen through twenty five. Next ten teams they'll round
30:50
out our top twenty five for the preseason. Number sixteen
30:53
Mississippi State. Hello, an insane transfer, insane off season for
30:59
these guys. Number seventeen Vanderbilts, Number eighteen Louisville, nineteen Oregon,
31:06
and twenty Oregon State. Convenient, they're back to back. Twenty
31:10
one Arizona State, twenty two you see Santa Barbara, number
31:14
twenty three Miami and that's the Florida variant. Number twenty
31:18
four Wake Forest, and then number twenty five the University
31:21
of Oklahoma. Jake, we're gonna go to you here, man.
31:25
Of these ten teams, the ones rounding on our top
31:27
twenty five, who's your favorite and why did they get
31:31
the nod over all the other teams here?
31:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, I want to talk about the Oregon Ducks. I
31:41
got the opportunity to watch a lot of Big ten
31:43
baseball last year, so I've seen a lot of Oregon.
31:48
They're returning Maddox Maloney, you know, future early pick this year,
31:52
and Ryan also Ryan Cooney in the middle of the infield.
31:57
Also bringing back Berkeley maybeus who flashed a lot as
32:01
a freshman last year. Behind the dish on one guy
32:06
that's really intriguing to me. They bring in Gabe Miranda,
32:10
first baseman from Northern Kentucky. He was there, he was
32:15
a Northern Kentucky's everyday starter at first base last year.
32:18
He had a ten to eighty one ops and twelve homers.
32:22
I think that'll play in that ballpark. Who's going to
32:25
be missing the big power thread at first base where
32:28
they lost Jacob Walsh last year. On the pitching side
32:33
of things, they were returning Colin Clark and Will Sandford
32:36
to the rotation. But I'm most intrigued by cal Scallari
32:41
coming in from San Diego. He gave them seventy innings
32:45
last year, just over a four YAR and seventy seven strikeouts.
32:50
They lost a lot in you know Mason Neville, Grayson
32:53
Grenzel already mentioned Jacob Walsh.
32:55
Speaker 2: He's the career home run leader at Oregon.
32:58
Speaker 6: They lost all three of those guys in the draft
33:00
last year, but they still have a lot of pieces
33:02
to jump into that top group as they did last year.
33:06
Speaker 1: They really did, And you're right, Jacob Walsh really kind
33:10
of slips by you as the career home runs leader
33:13
for Oregon. But an interesting thing and certainly a loss
33:16
for them. Like you said, we're gonna see if they
33:19
can replace that production love that shout for the University
33:23
of Oregon. Currently are number nineteen. Jake thinks that they
33:27
could move on up in maybe the top ten later
33:29
on this season. Jake, great insight man. Thank you so
33:31
much for that. JB. We're gonna kick it to you.
33:35
Of these teams, which do you think is your favorite?
33:38
Speaker 7: And why Yeah, I'm gonna go with the Louisville Cardinals,
33:42
also another ACC team we played last year. They made
33:45
a run in Omaha. I think they returned some talent.
33:47
They lose some pieces, but they have a lot of
33:49
interesting talent there. And also added on Jacob Bean from
33:52
Kent State ransferred in four twenty ear a and fifteen
33:55
starts last year at Kent State, very intriguing. Ben Slanker
33:59
from Ohio had to anyone. Homer's another interesting portal ad
34:02
And then you add onto that outfield Lucas Moore and
34:04
Zion Rose, both t USA players this summer. Both guys
34:08
are two of the best hitters in the country, and
34:10
you also add the best possible freshman in the ACC.
34:14
Take Davis, he was really hot at the start of
34:17
last season. They also had Peter Michael as well coming back,
34:21
and Brandon Shannon and their freshman class. I think they
34:23
have a few guys that really are intriguing. I think
34:26
that Louisville team is built to go back. Also Alex
34:28
Alicia playing shortstop for them, plus defender. I think it's
34:32
gonna be a really gritty team, your typical Louisville team
34:34
that makes it to Omaha. It's gonna be a tough
34:36
road for them, but they have the pieces to try
34:38
to make the run. If they can get a good draw.
34:41
Speaker 1: We'll have to see. Obviously, that's it feels like an
34:44
eternity away at this point, but it's well worth thinking about.
34:47
It is gonna take everybody's ninetieth percentile at this point
34:51
to really reach Omaha. I mean, it's only eight teams
34:54
we're talking about triple that plus today guys crazy amount
34:58
and only the strong survive. Josh, we're gonna go to you, man,
35:01
of these final ten teams, who do you like the
35:05
best of Why?
35:07
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll take the bait everyone wants to talk about
35:09
Brian O'Connor going to the SEC Mississippi State. I mean,
35:12
it's a proven coach at Virginia. What he's been able
35:15
to do there win a national championship is really commendable,
35:18
and to take it to one of the biggest brands,
35:20
one of the biggest programs of the country, it's really
35:22
hard to see it not pan out. I mean, they've
35:24
gone out and got a few transfers from Virginia that
35:27
I'll probably have a lot of relevance in that lineup
35:29
that we'll come to find out to Maas Valencias, William
35:32
Kirk on the mounds side of things, Aiden Teel and
35:36
James and Nally, you know on the offensive side of days.
35:39
Speaker 2: I think they could both actually play a really especially
35:41
Aid and.
35:41
Speaker 8: Teal could play a relevant and really important impactful.
35:44
Speaker 2: Role that team. This year. They also went out and
35:47
got some you know mid major guys.
35:49
Speaker 8: Kevin Mluskey like Beavis that'll probably start for my money
35:54
in that catcher and at first base for that team.
35:57
Also Drew Wires at shortstop will probably be you know,
36:00
sitting in there on the left side of the endfield
36:02
with Ace Reese. The pitchers, I think are like the
36:06
most talented part of this team by a landslide. The
36:09
lineup is gonna be really, really tough to get through
36:12
for an opposing pitcher.
36:13
Speaker 2: Obviously. I think the pitchers, we're looking a little.
36:15
Speaker 8: Aad now out on record now saying I think this
36:19
pitching staff will be the best twenty twenty seven pitching
36:22
staff in the entire country, because if you look at
36:24
this pitching staff, every single contributor besides maybe Ben Davis,
36:28
who's a senior, they're all sophomores. And if they can
36:31
come back, if o' connor can get them to come back,
36:34
that's gonna be a really dangerous squad in two years
36:36
from now.
36:36
Speaker 2: Now, I know that's a year and a half in advance.
36:38
Speaker 8: They're gonna be really good now because they got a
36:40
freshman inn and Jack Bauer who's just taken the entire
36:43
country by storm with all the results he's been putting up,
36:47
and I don't see why it doesn't translate to the
36:49
SEC either. I think a lot of guys like you know,
36:52
Roy McPherson and Tyler Pitts are coming from South Carolina.
36:55
They're gonna be able to translate and just really mo
36:57
batters down as they go to the SEC this year.
37:00
It might take a year or two, like I just said,
37:02
for it to really pan out, but Brian O'Connor, with
37:04
that's good of a coach as he is, I would
37:06
be shocked if they're not immediately a contender in some
37:09
capacity this season.
37:11
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough to see them as anything less,
37:14
isn't it. I mean, Josh, you really said it. There's
37:17
so much talent kind of converging on Starkle in a sense,
37:21
and it feels like there's such a sense of destiny
37:23
about that team that the fact that they were ranked
37:26
sixteenth here, I think that is again such a testament
37:29
to the level of talent and the depth across the
37:31
United States of America. What what incredible incredible squads up
37:35
and down. Josh, I am gonna put you on the
37:38
spot here. If that's okay, let's do another one sentence
37:42
answer if you had to give another team in the
37:44
sixteen to twenty five range. Essentially, what we're doing right
37:47
here is we're just trying to promote the promote episode
37:49
to more team fandoms. Let's just shout out. Let's shout
37:51
out some more of.
37:51
Speaker 2: Course, hmm, I'll go. I'll stick sec.
38:01
Speaker 8: I mean, Vandy was the number one overall team going
38:03
into the tournament last year, and they've got a lot
38:07
of guys that are mostly returning from that team. There
38:09
are some spots that are losing, but I would say
38:11
for the most part, you're gonna have you know, Colin Barksey,
38:14
Berdie Johnston, those are names that everyone's gonna remember.
38:17
Speaker 2: Rust and rigg Den. But I mean it's kind of
38:21
how do I put this.
38:22
Speaker 8: I think that it's gonna be more like a the
38:25
some of their parts on offense. There's not gonna be
38:28
like this real star that's gonna go out there and
38:31
just be the like the big name that's flashy to everybody.
38:34
I think it's everyone contributes, kind of like last year.
38:38
It felt like I talked about with Texas earlier. It
38:40
fell apart at the wrong time. They ran into a bust.
38:43
Speaker 2: All happened. It's baseball.
38:46
Speaker 8: But I think at the end of the day, the
38:47
pitching staff might be a little bit better. Guys like
38:49
Aulston and I Connor Findle are gonna really have to
38:52
step up and be the leaders on that side of
38:54
the ball. I think will it be as good as
38:57
last year or no, of course not number one overall city.
39:00
Speaker 2: That's as high of a bar as it gets.
39:03
Speaker 8: But I think they could step up into that top
39:06
fifteen range and replace a couple of teams just because
39:08
of the consistency of with Corbyn what he's been able
39:11
to do there. I mean like it's it's proven track
39:15
record and when you've got guys that are sticking around
39:18
and coming back that already produced last year for a
39:20
really high level team, odds are is gonna end up
39:23
working out.
39:24
Speaker 1: Track Record and consistency are the two things I think
39:27
of when I think of Vanderbilt, and you hit on them.
39:29
I think you're absolutely right as well about saying this
39:31
is a team who's some is greater than the whole
39:33
of its parts. And I'm absolutely with you on that
39:35
as well. Great shout. JB will go to you man,
39:40
putting you on the spot as well.
39:41
Speaker 7: Give me another team, well, I'll I'll give you a
39:45
little two for one special here. If that's okay, one
39:49
team I'm gonna go with first who is was on
39:51
my personal top twenty five, but they are not in
39:53
our consensus. Fancy State wolf Packed. I know their arrival,
39:58
I know that's that's a big deal. But the wolf
40:00
Pack this year, I think they have a really talented group.
40:03
I think that team is gonna have a chance to
40:05
really do some damage in the ACC and sneak up
40:07
on some teams, especially with the schedule that they drew
40:09
this year. I think they got some great returners in
40:12
tie Head and Anderson Nance and Ryan Moron on the mound.
40:17
They also added in some newcomers. Sherman Johnson from mcclennan
40:20
j C was a big one that I liked. RTT Johnson,
40:23
freshman Outfiguter's got some playing time in the scrimmers the
40:25
other day, also played really well. I also got my hand.
40:30
I think it's something in my hand. I forget the
40:33
first name. He is a shortstop from LSU who transferred
40:36
in didn't get much playing time there. He's another guy
40:39
who can really play. I think they have a really
40:41
interesting squad to put together. On top of it, I
40:42
can't forget Luke Nixon either. They got a nice little
40:46
group there that I think can really be scrappy and
40:48
play and fitt to Avan's type of style that he
40:50
likes to play there and within our top twenty five
40:53
off throughout.
40:54
Speaker 3: Another ACC team, the Miami Hurricanes.
40:56
Speaker 7: I am not big on the Hurricanes necessary really in
41:00
the long term, but I think they have a lot
41:02
of talent. I think they got a lot of stuff
41:03
that they can bring to the table, especially stealing attached
41:06
from the Wolfpack. Alex Sosa is a big name. Bringing
41:09
back Alex Coovey, Jake Ogden, They're a team that's really
41:12
gonna be interesting. I think the pitching is the biggest
41:14
question mark for Miami, but they've been scrappy enough to
41:17
find their way into a Super Regional last year, so
41:19
I think they're a fun team to watch.
41:21
Speaker 1: This year certainly. So I'm glad you brought him up
41:24
because Alex Sosa to Miami is such a great gut
41:26
for them. Although when we talk about in c State
41:30
and we talk about Sosa leaving them, a wise man
41:33
Kevin Nash once said many years ago, don't turn your
41:36
back on the wolf Pack. Curious exactly what that's gonna
41:39
mean for Sosa. There's gonna be some bad blood hashtags.
41:41
Former Swift Jake going to you here, man, give us
41:45
one last team to round us out, bring us home.
41:50
Speaker 6: Oh, I'll talk about Oregon State.
41:54
Speaker 2: Josh.
41:55
Speaker 6: Josh mentioned Mississippi State Evan maybe the twenty twenty seven
42:00
best pitching staff. I think Oregon State has a good
42:02
chance to have the twenty twenty six best pitching staff
42:07
headline obviously by Dax Whitney kids Electric. They also have
42:12
you know, Ethan klein Schmidt, Eric Segiro coming back an
42:16
underrated piece of that staff. I think is uh that
42:19
they bring in Isaac Yeager from Washington, the big bullpen
42:23
guy for them. He pitched forty seven innings out of
42:25
the pen, uh for a sub for e r a
42:29
uh for the Huskies. I think he's gonna be able
42:31
to give them some length out of the pen. He
42:35
has a he has a great opportunity to get a
42:37
lot of innings for them at the plate there returning
42:41
Jacob Craig, He's he's a big, big power thread at
42:44
first base. I also think they got uh they're gonna
42:49
get some good contributions for some with some from some freshmen. Uh.
42:53
Mason Pike coming in to probably have a good chance
42:56
to uh to break into that lineup, he could just
42:58
be there shouting starting shortstop day one. They also bring
43:04
in you know, Ethan Porter, Josh Proctor, another couple freshmen.
43:07
They have a ton of good transfer talent come into
43:11
that lineup as well. And yeah, I think they I
43:14
mentioned Oregon earlier, I think Oregon State's also got a
43:17
lot of tools to jump into that top curve.
43:21
Speaker 1: Certainly do man, Guys, We've only hit on maybe like ten, twelve,
43:26
thirteen teams with so much talent, and this is such
43:29
a difficult exercise. And of course, because we are the
43:32
freaks that we are, we're diving into it all the
43:35
way in October. But what really is too early? What
43:39
really is a waste of time? I don't want to
43:42
hear it because we've just presented to you the way
