[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 872242, member: 5007"] I'd say SS is one of the key positions so having a stud there is key to defense. I also think Chandler, from what I hear and have heard, is atypical for speed and stealing bases and a threat that we normally and historically didn't have. He also distracts the pitcher while pitching to Parada, which I'm sure Parada appreciates and can and has capitalized on. Another key position is Catcher. If we were and can talk to Parada being a gamechanger, we're kinda used to that at Catcher U, but the catcher touches the ball more than any other player in the field (since he plays the whole game after the starter leaves and bullpen is called in). So a solid catcher is a gamechanger and paramount to success. Parada also brings elite hitting on top of his catching to the plate as a bonus. We're a pretty young team on the mound, compared to other programs, when you look at the Covid and Regular SO pitchers and freshman getting the call and putting in the work. We don't have many Jr and Srs as other programs. I also think, and people aren't focusing on this much, is the level of talent in College is the highest/toughest it's been, given Covid, the $hit draft, and clog that has created, both for incoming as well as others not leaving (extra year) nor getting drafted. All of that boils over to all teams with way more talent, that normally wouldn't be there. I think we're all seeing the effects of that across College baseball, at all levels. Normally bringing in non starter to any fielding positions wouldn't be as noticeable in years' past as it is now. That isn't a knock on anyone, but the talent, like a wild hog, will continue to test you and find a hole, or make one in your deFence (I got all texan on ya) [/QUOTE]
