[Jedi Master Bevo]

Great pick up. .489 OBP is a great addition.

Add Laya (14 HRs), retain Borba (18 HRs), and get a full season of ABs from ARod, and I’m guessing we have 5-6 players with double digit HRs in the lineup next season.

I also expect the Frosh on this list (Pack, Laya, Garcia) to see their HR numbers go up in year 2 of their careers.

Angel Laya is a target. He hasn't committed.

Is he on a visit? 😁

Is he just a teenage Dirtbag?

Goldenetz looks like a Jake Mangum starter kit. Will take that in a second if that's the case.

I sit here and wonder if Texas will have the top end power/HR ability that we saw in the heart of the order in 2026. 

I still suspect they aren’t done, but we will see. 

dumb question, but i stopped watching the CWS after Texas was knocked out.  what kind of game were OU and UNC playing (guerrilla ball, big arms, contact and speed, etc)?  I was shocked OU got there, but man they got hot.

If Rodriguez is healthy and the guy Schloss believes he is, his power and overall production could increase considerably.

Laya, I’m sure would be fine, but he was terrible in the Super.  For those that criticize our guys for weak CWS performance.

i have no idea about the incoming freshman, but a program like Texas should receive immediate contribution from at least one incoming freshman.  Mendoza should improve back to his better self too.  Pack could increase power numbers even if the average doesn’t quite hold.

Oklahoma hit more home runs in their final 16 games than their first 45 games. It’s the whole reason for their run. It matters.

The lack of power by our additions is a bit underwhelming. I dont want a repeat of this years lineup 

I just need someone who can make contact against UGA pitching.

In their wins over UNC they gave up 3 runs and 2 runs.  In game 1, it was tied 3-3 then all 6 OU runs after that were via non-home runs.  In game 3, only 1 of OUs first 10 runs was via home run.

In their first 3 CWS games, they gave up 0, 3, and 4.  Versus Bama, only two of the 9 runs were from homers.

In their Super they gave up 1 and 2 runs.  They were up 7-1 in one of those games before their first homer.  In the other game, KU didn’t score until the 8th.

In their final game in the regional they scored 3 runs via home run.  But down 7-3 heading into the 7th all 4 runs scored to send it to extras were scored via something other than a homer.

In their 7 wins in the Super Regional and CWS, they gave up no more than 4 runs, and that 4th run in that game was up 8 in the 9th.  Team ERA just above 2.00 in those 7 wins.  They won it all because they were playing the best all around game.

The Oklahoma run reminded me a lot of Rangers run. Barely made it in and got hot.

I tend to agree. A good ole fashioned contact speedster from the bottom of the order who can play all 3 spots in the outfield. 

If he is able to maintain a .489 OBP, he should be leading off.
