Baseball BOOM: Texas lands Kent State OF Sawyer Solitaria

[Easton9]

With this pickup does it mean we would still be after the Oregon outfielder? Because then you would have 3 corner outfielders and not one true center fielder?

Yes, Texas is looking for multiple outfielders in the portal.

If we get another OF Pack would play CF. He’s more than capable

Still feels weird to get excited about transfers from Saint Mary's and Kent State, but Aiden Robinson made me believer.

Sorrrrry. 

(...but maybe such is the plight of the vagabond one-year portal mercenaries, their names are not going to be etched in stone, only in the checkbook)

Ian Armstrong is a projected 1st round pick & that’s what Texas is looking at. It doesn’t matter where he’s coming from. St. Mary’s beat UCLA twice this past season.

Pete Nakos from On3 reported yesterday that Texas, ATM, Georgia, and LSU are showing interest in Angel Laya from Oregon. If we can get this guy the OF will be the best in the country 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I kinda thought we would have heard who the new assistant coach is by now

Pack is not a CF. Not even a really good defensive LF yet

Still a long ways to go for Pack defensively.

He'd have to make some serious strides defensively.

[Assistant Regional Manager]

The argument could be made that CF is the easiest of the 3 OF positions to play defensively at Disch Falk with the way the wind often blows and the configuration of the corner spots.

Could Laya play CF?

Starting with communication 

[Texansarebetter]

Jonah Williams is the wildcard for us.

Does anyone have access to the portal rankings? Baseball America or 64 Analytics are the 2 main ones people are using. If so could you post? Thanks!!
