Probably just me but was he recruited to the portal? Let’s see where he ends up. LSU, Ark and Tenn are looking for pitchers. Other teams are probably looking also. It’s possible it was mutual but the timing seems odd. Plus the mods were caught off guard.

Hard to know but you are probably right. Moffett has looked good in summer league but started on Tuesday and only made it thru one inning. He threw 36 pitches (19 for strikes) and gave up 2 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks. His inning: Walk, stolen base Single, run scores Stolen base Single Strikeout Sac fly, run scores Walk Strikeout

Oliver Service entered the portal in early June IIRC. I am too lazy to look it up though…lol

They “might” look for another pitcher. They like the pitchers they just signed but we may have to sweat out the draft on some of them. Aiden Moffett has also looked good in summer league in relief. 4 appearances, 5.1 innings pitched, 1.69 ERA, allowed one hit with 10 K’s and 3 BB. Here is Moffett from a few days ago.

In 2025 he hit .348, with 17 HR, 53 RBIs, 13 doubles, 34 BB, 40 SO, and a OPS of 1.251

Some of you guys are aholes. We need help at SS and Schloss wanted him. Not a power hitter but he hit 330, had 11 doubles, 2 triples, one HR and 6 sacrifice flies. You live and die in the portal when you get commitments from top shortstops in the country that get drafted as a top 10-15 overall MLB draft pick. They rarely make it to campus. In 2024 Bryce Rainer (SS) was selected 11th overall. This year our infield commitments are SS Kayson Cunningham (projected top 10-15 MLB draft pick) and 3B Gavin Fien (projected top 20 to 25 overall).

I hope they pick up next year where they left off. This season Freeman was the NCAA leader with 28 doubles. While hitting .422 Robbins had 5 triples and 20 stolen bases and didn’t make an error all season. The HR totals from Livingston, Moroknek and Freeman are impressive. I hope they translate against SEC pitching.

A higher OPS shows a better picture of how productive they are offensively.
