[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 925895, member: 5007"] The departures of Parada (26 HR), Jenkins (17 HR), Tim Borden (20 HR) and Colin Hall (9 HR) obviously sapped this roster of some of its trademark power, but the Jackets can count on Compton and Reid to continue racking up home runs, and DeLeo looks like a third double-digit power threat. Mercer transfer [B]Angelo DiSpigna[/B] will also help fill the power vacuum after hitting 40 homers over his four-year career with the Bears. At 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, he’s an intimidating presence in the lefthanded batter’s box, and despite his length he showed the ability to turn on a 92 mph fastball in on his hands against Kennesaw, driving it into the right-field corner for a two-run double. Primarily a first baseman at Mercer, DiSpigna “kept bugging me that he can play in the outfield,” Hall said, so the Jackets put him in left field in the final week of the fall and he seemed to handle it well enough. If DiSpigna can indeed stick in left, it gives Georgia Tech considerably more lineup flexibility, allowing two more power bats to get into the lineup in 6-foot-3, 215-pound first baseman [B]John Giesler[/B] and 6-4, 222-pound two-way talent [B]Jackson Finley[/B], who started at DH (and pitcher) against the Owls. Both of them offer big righthanded power potential — which Jackson showed off with a two-run homer to left-center against Kennesaw, despite getting caught just a bit on his front foot against a breaking ball. Finley is also athletic enough to see action at first base or DH, though his primary responsibilities will be on the mound (more on that in a bit). Georgia Tech’s biggest pick to click in the lineup is redshirt freshman second baseman [B]Kristian Campbell[/B], who did not play against Kennesaw due to a minor abdominal strain. At 6-3, 191 pounds, Campbell is yet another physical presence from the right side. Like DeLeo, he brings an exciting power/speed tool set, but he’s really stood out this fall for his disciplined approach. [/QUOTE]
