Who's the freshman, juco transfer, or first-time starter on your team that is going to make a name for himself?
For A&M, everyone is raving about true freshman Braden Shewmake. He's a 6'4" middle IF who will start at 2B, but most expect him to take over at SS if Homan struggles at all. I have yet to watch him play, but every media member or fan who has cannot stop hyping him.

Grae Kessinger (SS) and Thomas Dillard (LF/C). I played with both of these guys in high school, and I can tell you that...
A) Grae had the cleanest glove on any infielder I ever played with or against. Isn't a HR hitter per say (he hit a few in HS), but he is good at getting on base by any means possible.
B) That's not a typo next to Dillard's name. He is going to start in left but can also play catcher due to his speed and arm strength. Strongest hitter I've ever seen (he hit 16 his senior year, WHICH LED ALL HS HITTERS IN AMERICA). Will be scary good.

Josh Paschal. Defensive line was a mess last year, we need more talent/speed there. Paschal will contribute right away.

VOLS QB redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano aka Guantanamo Bae aka Gitmo aka Geronimo aka The Chosen One aka Marcus Mariota 2.0 was the #1 dual threat QB in the 2016 class.
Key Bump Canales will mold this young Guido into a super star this coming annum and should be the best quarterback from the entire 2016 class imo. Hurts nor Patterson nor Eason posses the skillset of Geronimo

No one gives a shite about a niche sport like college baseball so I decided to turn this into a football thread. DWI

JJ Bleday - Likely the opening day starter in RF. Should step in and contribute right away.

There's a teddy bear somewhere beneath that abrasive, compensatory facade.

Our team won't have a freshman start for the majority of the season but if that changes it will be Carlos Cortes. Really good at the plate.

Two freshmen will be starting for LSU in the infeild.
3rd base Josh Smith - Drafted in the 38th round last year, from Baton Rouge.
1st Base Jake Slaughter - Drafted in the 36th round, from Choudrant, Louisiana
Excited to see both of them, they should both be 3 year starters, and both will likely transition to the middle infeild next year. Both were high school SS.
Our Sunday pitcher and our mid-week pitcher should both be new comers:
Zach Hess is a 6'6 freshman with a big-time arm. Struggles with accuracy, but he could be dominant if he figures that out. Fastball in the mid 90s.
Eric Walker is also a freshman, but the total opposite of Hess. Pin-point accuracy, but his fastball probably tops out at 89-90. Right now he is the favorite to start on Sundays because he will be consistent, but his ceiling isn't as high as Hess.

You cant predict chemistry and sometimes Pippen and Jordan just happen.
