Gator Baseball 2024 OFFICIAL ROSTER/Transfer Tracker/Lineup???

Ask and you shall receive...

 

have met Jaylen several times over the years, great speed, very good outfielder and solid hitter. Wont be a power guy, but will add offense at the top or bottom of lineup and not many balls will get in the gap on him.

 

Good little ball player that will definitely contend for a starting outfield spot.

 

Not sure how well Guy’s bat will translate to the SEC but this is a very good late pickup as at worst, he will provide speed and late inning defense. It looks like Evans and Shelton will
start in the corner OF positions and being neither are real strong defensively, this is a key addition.

 

well talking to his old coaches from HS and some family today they said his arm injuring was a lingering one that he had for a few years and never addressed it and played through it. The surgery corrected some strength issues and help him open up his swing some and hit some more authority. It showed and they did play against good competition. Last year he knew his was thru at Liberty. I did not ask anything about why he stopped playing early or did he stop his year a bit early but will ask if people want to know. If you look at his highlight reel his defense is top notch. No matter he can add something to the team as far as speed, base running and defense. But I get the feeling Sully might want him for more then that.

 

Shelnuts defense really worries me, dude does not look natural at all in the outfield. He looks like one of my middle school kids I train just learning how to play the position.

 

Similar to Richie S transfer from Rutgers. I don't like putting all this faith into S, R and E as our outfield. Hope I'm wrong

 

Add Infielder Armando Albert from FAU to team.
274 6 homers 47 walks

 

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Gators gained a commitment from former FAU Owl infielder Armando Albert. The rising senior announced the commitment on his Instagram Saturday night. Allen graduated high school from Belen Jesuit Prep and enrolled at Santa Fe Community College in 2021.

May be our SS

 

With Michael Robertson struggling at the plate pretty much all of the 2nd half this past season & apparently is still struggling (to some degree) at the Cape. It seems like CF is his job to lose. But, I guess we'll have to wait and see what we'll get with Guy. Granted he hit a career best .309 this past season, there's no telling how that'll translate to the SEC.

 

The 22 errors caught my attention, as it seemed very high. I looked up our stats and found that Josh Rivera had only 9 errors, which happened to be the most on the team last year, fwiw.

 

Is he a true centerfielder and if so, will he complete with Robertson for that role?

 

Would think our pitching coach, David Kopp, would still have ability to get feedback from those he worked while at FAU, even though he was not there during Albert’s time at FAU.

 

Based on the few highlights I've seen, I'd say he's a true CF. Robertson's second half struggles (in the regular season) at the plate have reportedly carried on into his play at the Cape Cod League. Again, nobody know hows how Guys' bat is going to play in the SEC.

 

Not a strong close to the transfer portal. Shelton and the VT catcher have the most potential, however they both have a lot of swing in miss in them. The rest are role players at best in the sec.

 

It's a bit early to pencil in many names. There are about six months of workout, plus intense fall and preseason practices. I consider Guy to be promising, but Robertson has shown a lot of promise, regrettably, not enough hitting to go with his very solid defense. By the end of October, things will be more clear, but all of the outfield is uncertain for now.
