So preseason I thought Walker Pennington would be one of our best bats and help carry the offense. Instead, he missed a good chunk of the season because he just wasn't productive and he hung around the mendoza line.

Since regionals began he's batting .353 with 3 runs scored and 4 RBI and what might be even more impressive has been his defense. He's made a couple spectacular catches in LF. So to a SR who gets at least 2 more games keep the hot streak going.

despite such a terrible average, pennington still has impressive HR and RBI #s. id much rather see him at the plate with RISP than homan

Going back to May 6th, the final game vs MSU, Homan is 3-48 since. That's .063 Avg over 14 games. No extra base hits. 1 run scored. 3 rbi. Yikes. It is probably too late to move him to the bench (moving Shew to SS and a freshman to 2B).

Pennington possesses the power to go yard.
So he's got that going for him, which is nice.

I also hope we see the Texas Aggies jerseys in Omaha. Those are a great look.

Also Orioles!

Baltimore has drafted 2 A&M signees already. Adam Hall (60th) & Jack Conlon (128th). Alex Scherff just went as well (161st). I would assume Hall is gone. Not sure about the other two.

i kept up with college ball last year and thought A&M, L'Ville, and Florida were the 3 most talented teams. unfortunately L'ville, and florida returned most of that talent whilst we did not.

I was surprised to see so many freshmen on the list.

Baseball seems like the one sport where a freshman can really be productive for a team, even more so than basketball.

Because skill is more critical than strength and athletic ability

Why some don't consider baseball players true athletes

Sure, some players don't have what is normally considered to be an athletic body, but hard not to call them true athletes. Skill is important in all sports, but some sports and positions definitely require more physicality.
