Texas Baseball No. 2 In Big 12 Preseason Poll


Recommended Posts

  • Moderators

It’s all going to come down to pitching. If Texas can hold steady there, they can win the Big 12 on the way out. 
 

And my apologies… I meant to post this yesterday but half of my household is battling the flu (not this guy though!).

And if I had a vote:

TCU, Texas, Texas Tech, KSU, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Houston, Kansas, UCF, Baylor, Cincinnati, BYU in that order.  

Is Ok St reloading this year?

Despite losing a couple of big time bats, I expect them to be really good offensively.  Their problem is going to be pitching, just like last season.  They got dudes who can throw the hell out of the ball, but like I tell my kid... what good will that do you if you can't control it.  

Basically, expect their football team to rub off on the baseball team.  A lot of offense. Not a lot of defense.

What do you see their starting lineup looking like defensively?

Here's my best guess, although I'm not as familiar with them as I am schools like TCU and Tech.

C - Ian Daugherty
1 - Colin Brueggemann
2 - No clue. Not sure if I guy like Aidan Meola could slide into 2nd or if they'll use a freshman/transfer I'm not aware of.
SS - Lane Forsythe (Miss St transfer)
3 - Tyler Wulfurt
OF - Nolan Schubart, Zach Ehrhard, Carson Benge (will also pitch. UTIL player... like UT's Ace Whitehead)

Will you guys be doing more baseball content? I'm not a baseball fan, I know next to nothing about the sport, but I'd be down to sit through some content for that. 

Definitely.  We had the video with Coach Pierce on Thursday and will have a much more in depth piece in the next week or two that previews the team. I'm going to write a preview over the weekend and have it out next week as well.

Also, we will have Texas Softball HC Mike White on Coffee and Football this upcoming week!

My wild guess is

C- Schuessler/Galvan

1-Luke Storm 

2- Jack O’Dowd 

SS- Jalen Flores

3- Peyton Powell

LF- Porter Brown

CF- Jarred Thomas??

RF- Will Gasparino/Casey Cummings??
 

It’s tough because there’s a lot of last year’s freshman class talent that I would except needs to see the field like Jayden Duplantier, Cam Constantine, Max Belyeu, etc.  

I think coach nailed it when he mentioned depth as a strength.

Oh you meant Texas. I thought you meant Oklahoma State. lol my apologies. When you said “their lineup” that threw me off since we were discussing the Pokes beforehand. 
 

Let me eat and then I’ll post my predicted Texas one. Haha
