Carson Tinney

[Skoal Brother]

The season is young, but is Carson putting together perhaps the best season ever in Longhorn Baseball?  Everything he has an opportunity to do, he is taking advantage of. Especially last several series.

He started off bad, then he’s picked it up. He’s doing well, but nowhere near the “best season” ever.

Ivan Melendez’s 2022 will be hard to beat for a long, long time.

That would be a no lol.

Ivan won the spike award. He hit for a lot of power. Don’t recall his defense as well as his bat.

Just thought this might be a good time to drop the name of perhaps my favorite Longhorn baseballer.

Dustin Majewski.   Seems like he hit .500 with runners in scoring position.  Kieschnick are my top 2.

He was first base and had one error all season. Stop the comparisons

Ivan also bat .387 with an OPS of 1.371 and 32 HRs. Tinney is great... but he is nowhere near that pace.

Maybe the best catcher in Longhorn Baseball based on his elite statistical ceiling?

Taylor Teagarden

Rick Bradley

Tommy Harmon

In my time following the program, it’s hard to beat Teagarden.

Silas Ardoin was a top-notch defensive catcher who gradually got better at the plate and continued to develop his power.

Tres Barrera also has a special place in my ranking of Longhorn catchers.

Ricky Bradley, you're going way back! Keith Moreland played then. Catcher for the 73 NC. From Lufkin, his brother , Randy, was pitcher as well.

[Alex Butler]

Taylor Teagarden and Roger Luce for me.

🤨 Aiden Robbins is having an outstanding season so far. Tinney has been kind of a let down to be honest. I was expecting an Ivan type season from him

As a catcher, getting beat up every weekend?  Ok.

[Blake Munroe]

Said a few weeks ago Tinney will be fine. And he’s getting there. 
 

but nowhere near the best season ever.

Catchers, I'd go with Teagarden but, best season has to be Brooks Kieschnick. That's my 2 cents

My take after the first couple weeks with Tinney batting clean-up was that (at the time) Texas didn’t have anyone in the lineup batting behind him to force pitchers to challenge him. I think that was one of the main factors to batting him second. Ultimately everyone slumps in baseball. The regular season doesn’t really matter so much, what these guys do in the post season is what will ultimately be remembered or solidified one way or the other.

Im not saying hes having a bad season. I just thought he was going to be the masher. Hitting dingers every game. Hes been pretty legit behind the plate.
