TCU Baseball 2018: Summer Thread

[Punter1]

The last lefty from Carroll worked out pretty good for us...until he was snatched up by some AL Central team after 2 years...

WVU got a commit from the Ft.Worth area today.Anyone familiar with him?

I think you mean the Dallas area.

2019 LHP commit

2019 IF prospect, not highly rated through his first few HS seasons but coming on strong. Looks like he will be a big kid, he's 6 foot 1 at 16.

Pay almost zero attention to the rankings of 16 year old HS baseball players.

2018 IF prospect, local kid. Good depth for the 2018 class.

Loving the names of these kids. Cutter Sippel and Beau Wimpee sound like they played on the 1908 Cubs. Can just picture them smoking cigars and downing scotch in the clubhouse after games.

2 more commits today. Saarloos is killing it...per the usual.

Ah the good old days

With our pitching staff, Luken Baker, and my potentially naive assumption that a program of our caliber will be able to fill all our holes with competent players, would it be completely ridiculous to think we make it to Omaha for a 5th straight year?

Who's likely to be the best of the Big 12? Is Tech returning a lot of players?

Fixed it to reflect real men.

Not really sure where to put this but pretty funny

Here's hoping Beau Wimpee's career is overly ironic! A stellar career will shut up the leather lungs in away stadiums...

 

[Bill Bozeat]

Guess he is our new 3rd baseman

Not ridiculous at all..... The list of teams with better returning pitching than TCU may not include anyone other than Florida. And I would assume Tech is the correct answer to question #2. Their weekend rotation should be really good assuming Davis Martin returns at full strength. I'd probably go with OU next. They return some decent arms and the best hitter in the league IMO (Steele Walker). Wouldn't be entirely shocked if UT took a step back in 2018 as they got absolutely hammered by the draft. They had 11 players drafted and all 11 signed, including some JRs that went in late rounds that ordinarily you would have expected to return. They also lost arguably their top handful of recruits as well.
