Wow. Our biggest problem is where to get pitchers playing time.

Aaron Fitt has always liked us. He is positive on every team to keep up subscribership but gives us a bit more in his projections. Now we need to show him right!

I'm really (Charlie Brown type) optimistic about the upcoming season. How to put the pieces together to maximize potential is going to be a challenge with so much offense and defense potential. Just have to decide how to mix and match. Hopefully we play a lot of players in different situations. ..... Kind of like playing two QBs for quality time in every game:rolleyes: But this is baseball where players are used to bad days and aren't emotionally scarred for life when they get pulled.

Maxwell threw a 98 mph FB with D1 there. Best was 99 mph. And in college?????? https://d1baseball.com/prospects/2020-fall-heat-sheet-4-0-2/

Here's what Aaron Fitt said about him "Last year’s premium pitching recruit, the massive 6-foot-6, 271-pound righthander Zach Maxwell, appears ticketed for the closer job, assuming he can throw strikes consistently. He took the mound in the ninth inning for the Gold team, trying to close out a fall world series triumph, and endured a steady stream of heckling over his control from the Blue dugout. But after hitting the leadoff batter, Maxwell proceeded to retire the next three hitters, blowing away two of them on high heat at 97 and 96 mph. He sat 95-97 and bumped 98, and his fastball exploded through the zone with an elite spin rate in the 2500-2700 range. He also can miss bats with an 83-84 mph slider with big tilt that consistently spun in the 2700 rpm range. You just don’t see a lot of college pitchers with stuff like that."

Can't wait for beesball.

Did it say anything about our transfers eligibility?

Implied these transfers are available:

Huff, a Vanderbilt transfer, ran his heater up to 93 in my fall world series look, and relied heavily on a sharp 77-81 slider with late tilt, mixing in a mid-80s changeup for soft contact against lefties.

Medich, a transfer from Division III Rhodes (Tenn.) College, worked his way back from Tommy John surgery to pitch 10 innings last spring, and Hall said he’s been up to 95 mph this fall along with an improving breaking ball.

Vanderbilt transfer Justyn-Henry Malloy saw action at third base and second base this fall. At 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, he looks more like a typical third baseman, though he remains more of a line-drive, middle-away oriented hitter than a turn-and-burn slugger. Hall thinks Malloy’s hands and feet work at second base, where he could see action in Georgia Tech’s most offensive lineup configuration.

Medich is coming from DIII and is automatically eligible. Huff and JHM have to receive waivers from the NCAA, which my understanding they are giving to everyone and/or adopting the one time transfer rule. Either way, they should all be eligible.
