Gator Baseball 2023 Official Roster Tracker/Lineup???

87, have you seen Abner pitch this Spring? I saw him yesterdady but in shorts clearly not pitching. Same with Nesbitt.
On the closer role: remains a concern -- perhaps if you spread the duties around that might be the way to go in the first month-six weeks. I thought Purnell looked good yesterday and he started out well last year but may have been overused some and to use him twice in the same series (as he was several times) is not wise as he doesn't have overpowering stuff but a deceptive delivery and good sinking action that opposing team can pick up on the second time around. He had good location and movement in his outing yesterday. Same with Finnvold nothing overpowering but deceptive with good movement and location.
Glad you can make it out tonight will be good to get your take.

By the way, I was talking briefly with a guy from south Florida who follows top prospects in that area and he pointed out Lastres is barely 19 years old-- was he an early enrollee last year?

 

Kind of feels like Slater or Purnell as closer, guessing we see varius combos for a while. Ficc to me is the first mid relief guy. Guess Cag is the wild card since we don't know his role/what workload they are comfortable with.

 

There is nothing that aggravates me more than sloppy play.

Well maybe losing, but nothing else.

 

Pitching appears to be a bit of a concern at this point. Even more so if PC isn't available this season. Hard to ask Jac C to carry load as starter since he hasn't thrown one pitch in college baseball. We also have a lot of kids who need to make a step up this season with their control and secondary pitches. Need someone to step up as lights out closer that we can rely on as well. This used to be our strength.

 

Do they still have dual enrollment in HS? Alan and Kayla both were academic sophomores in college when they graduated HS.

He may fall in this category.

 

Was Finnvold’s masterful 9 inning performance against Oklahoma in last years regional just a lucky performance or a reason for optimism for him to breakout this year?

 

Sunday's scrimmage notes - I arrived late due to a bad accident on I-75 so I missed the 4th inning (first one they played). Score was 0-0 after 4.
