    He wasn't included on the postseason roster and didn't play this season. Typically, the staff is OK letting guys in that boat get a head start if they're looking to go elsewhere.

    The problem with baseball portal recruiting is very few are in the know. Most throw crap at the wall and hope it sticks (see: Samford INF visiting, Watters being all Ga Tech).  The best part of b

    There have only been nine guys in the history of the Texas program who’ve hit 19 or more home runs in a season. It’s a pretty significant number.

@Jeff Howe@Blake Munroe  Is this for real?

Smart kid (or agent) leveraging the portal for a larger signing bonus. Really no reason not to in his position.

Monster talent.

Might be a bit of a stupid question, as I'm still learning about everything baseball but if he's a first round draft pick, is he worth pursuing? Didn't Texas get burned last off-season by two guys who were draft picks and said they weren't going, only to then end up signing?

it's all for negotiating his money (Draft Slot), if he doesn't get the amount he wants, he just follows his coach to South Carolina and re-enters next year. he'll get his money unless the Mets draft him because they're idiots.

Yes we lost 2 guys that we got in the portal to the draft last year

Yeah, and I believe both said they would not do that.  I also think we lost one or two high school guys who were drafted fairly low but went pro anyway.

Had to double check that he started 46 games, because man, it felt like there should have been more impact.

I was literally thinking the same thing. I was shocked to see 46

I’m not mad at the kid and appreciate what he tried to do here, but we need to get better in certain areas and this is one of them. I wish him well

Jim gave him every opportunity to prove he could hit lefties, but it was just as suspected, he's not a starter against lefties (on a championship-contending roster, at least). And it's hard to pay much for a platoon guy. Best of luck to him that he gets to be an everyday starter somewhere and figures out how to hit lefties. 

Anybody know anything about incoming high schooler Cohen Tigerina?  @Blake Munroe @Jeff Howe @CJ Vogel  Saw something on Twitter about the incoming class of high schoolers and saw a name I do not recall checking on before-  Cohen Tigerina from Florida.  He is listed as an outfielder.  I did some research and his high school stats were not very good.  His only reasonable stat was 14 stolen bases.

Not really. 

I mean. He was likely not playing much next year. Wish him well but he is a Jag.
