Gator Baseball 2023 Official Roster Tracker/Lineup???

My view of Nesbitt is bearish. Much of his IP is from first half the season so he should have lower ERAs. That said he should get more opportunity to develop throughout the season. As some have said he might have an injury or something else is going on. If given the chance I would be very surprised that Nesbitt would keep his ERA as low as it is if he faced SEC teams like our other relievers. He might struggle more than we would like to see. But you would think he deserves the chance to try.

 

I've changed the first page lineup to adjust for Deric. Let's hope he keeps up the momentum in the bottom third of the order. Here's a peak...

1B - Jac Caglianone/Luke Heyman

Yes I just got finished watching the highlights. I would have given up on it but the title of the vid said incredible game. I couldn't believe LSU would let a team come back like that. Just goes to show you every team in the SEC is capable of the comeback.

 

Here are some scenarios for the Gators as to their SECT placement before this weekend at Kentucky.
1. Win 3 finish 21-9 and at worst finish second in the SEC but if Arkansas loses 1 or more Gators are SEC champs either tied or outright.
2. Win 2 finish 20-10 and at worst finish third in the SEC depending on what Arkansas and LSU does. The Gators could still win the SEC if Vandy beats Arkansas twice and LSU loses 1 at Georgia.
3. Win 1 finish 19-11 and at worst finish third or tied for third in the SEC depending what Arkansas, LSU, and Vanderbilt does.
4. Get swept finish 18-12 and could finish out of the top 4 if SC sweeps Tenn, LSU wins at UG, and Vandy wins at least 2 over Arkansas.

The short of it we need to take care of business go win and good things will happen. The biggest influencer outside of our own series at UK is what happens between Arkansas and Vanderbilt. LSU goes to Georgia and should probably win and SC is a stretch if they get a home sweep of Tennessee.

 

On this original post I put asterisks by the 7 players who were honored for Senior day so I can keep track of next year's roster. I'm surprised and not surprised at Nesbitt and Ficarrotta but probably says more why Sully has not been using either much lately. I'm assuming they are transferring out at this point. I am wondering why Waldrep was not out there. He is a junior and will go high in the draft. Schiekofer was out there and only here one year so that shouldn't matter. Does it have more to do if they are graduating?

 

Nesbitt would start at any of those. Fic would be interesting to see if he changes his delivery again. Tough to say how he would fit in it at least that gives him options.
