Gator Baseball 2023 Official Roster Tracker/Lineup???

All good points 87- lots of options- again Sully will have some tough decisions to make to ensure that top guys not in the starting 8 get their reps and stay sharp and happy. Again, I'm thinking Lastres, Heyman, Tejeda- these are top rated guys that want to play and not ride the pine... I'd have Lastres in the lineup as DH even he's not ready to play D because of TJ rehab and I believe Heyman although mainly a catcher has played other infield positions. The solution there would be Heyman spells Riopelle on occasion (if Lastres not ready) with BT as DH vs RHP and Lastres gets a crack at DH in the 6 hole vs. LHP. Tejeda is a tall lanky kid, two way player LHP and has played well in the outfield so the comp. will be interesting to watch along the way. Tejeda or Lastres or Heyman could play 1st on days Cags will pitch... Many tough decisions and time, the scrimmages and early games will tell.

 

PS: with the new mix of players I would not assume Evans has nailed down RF-- there may be some platooning there. Evans had some big hits last year but Ks a lot and also faded some down the stretch. Again all good stuff to watch and see how it plays out.

It’s 2:20pm and not a player in sight at the ballpark. Did they cancel Friday practice?

 

Good gosh, I hit post and a half dozen players hit the field. We have baseball!

 

Infield practice looked good. They had Shelnut and Halter at third, Rivera and Fabian at SS and Kurland and Thomas at second with BT working alone at first. Shelnut had a couple bobles at third but overall everyone looked good. In shorts, Rivera looks like a linebacker, he’s pretty thick.

 

Working on fielding bunts now. Cags, Shelnut and Fabian rotating at first base. Several players laying down bunts including a Max Brown sighting!

 

Fielding and throwing bunts to third base. Cags with a wild throw followed by a better throw. Most throws have been pretty accurate

 

Batting practice. BT first at plate, Rene Lastres, then Heyman. Next up Fabian. BT just went yard on back to back pitches. Heyman with a bomb. BT with a line drive off right center wall. Lastres with some hard hit line drives as well as Fabian.

 

Next group up Langford, Ty Evans, lefty Mike Robertson, Kurland, Thomas. Ty Evans with a deep shot to the 400 spot in CF warning track. Thomas with two shots to the 400 mark, one bounced off wall. A lot of hard hit line drives from this group.

 

New group in box, Halter, Shelnut, Cags, Rivera. Cags just left the yard over the RC field 380 mark. Cags putting on a show. Just hit one over the berm in right.

 

Rivera just hit one over dead center 400 mark

 

Next up Shiekofer, Prevesk,SalvyAlvarez, Max Brown. Brown has no number but I’m guessing it’s him because I don’t see anyone else with dreds.

 

Tucker Talbot also in this group. Max Brown looks like he belongs. Hitting some hard shots. Good looking athlete.

 

Max Brown goes deep to LC field!

 

Players getting ready for scrimmage. Sully having a conference with Scott Strickland at home plate while we wait.

 

I assume coaches threw BP and pitchers will get their work in during the scrimmage.

 

Blue infield, Cags 1B, Kurland 2B, Rivera SS and Halter at 3B. Alvarez behind plate.

 

Blue outfield, Evans in right, Langford in center couldn’t see left although looked like Max Brown was one of two out there

 

I can only wait for the first weekend series we lose to get your reassessment LMAO
