Put the roster and signees on here.

It will probably stay dormant until the real season though.

But good job!

Coaching

Head Coach: Mr. Butch Thompson



quote:

Butch Thompson was named Auburn's head baseball coach on October 22, 2015 and recently completed his seventh season with the Tigers in 2022.

Thompson has had 36 players drafted in his Auburn tenure, including 16 in the top 10 rounds and 12 in the top five rounds, both registering as the highest totals in a seven-year span in program history. The 2022 MLB Draft saw eight Auburn players drafted, marking the second-highest total in program history and the most in the top 20 rounds. The eight draft picks were the third most in the SEC and tied for the fifth most in the country. Additionally, the four picks in the top five rounds were the most in program history and tied for the second most in the country. The Tigers have now had at least one player drafted in the top five rounds for a record seven straight seasons.

In 30 years of coaching at the collegiate level, including 21 in the Southeastern Conference, Thompson has coached nine College World Series participants, including leading the Tigers to the program's first trip to the College World Series in 22 years in 2019 and taking the team back for the second time in three postseasons in 2022. Auburn is one of six programs to appear in two of the last three College World Series, and Thompson is one of five active SEC coaches who have taken their program to a pair of College World Series in a three-year span. Thompson has also coached one national champion and a national runner-up, won nine conference championships and made 18 postseason appearances. He has also served as an assistant under three National Coach of the Year recipients.


Assistant Coaches:

Mr. Karl Nonemaker



quote:

Karl Nonemaker, a former Auburn assistant and All-SEC outfielder at Vanderbilt, was named an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Tigers' baseball program in the fall of 2017 and recently completed his fifth season back on The Plains.

Nonemaker spent the previous six seasons as an assistant and recruiting coordinator at Old Dominion University. He was on Auburn's staff from 2005-07, helping the program to a NCAA Regional final in 2005.

During his time on the Plains, Nonemaker has assembled four top-15 recruiting classing, including the No. 8 early signing class for 2022. Each of the Tigers' next two classes for 2023 and 2024 are also currently considered top-10 classes by Perfect Game.


Mr. Gabe Gross



quote:

Former Auburn All-American Gabe Gross re-joined the Tigers' coaching staff as an assistant coach prior to the 2018 season and recently completed his fifth season back on The Plains.

A three-year starter in the Auburn outfield from 1999-01, Gross was a first-team All-American in 2000 after he led the Southeastern Conference in hitting with a blistering .430 average. A two-time All-SEC performer, Gross was a freshman All-American in 1999 and a second-team Academic All-American in 2001.

In Gross' five seasons as the hitting coach, the Tigers have turned in a .281 combined batting average with 513 doubles and 297 home runs in 267 games. Gross and the offense have played an instrumental role in lead the team to Omaha in two of the last three seasons and to the Super Regionals in three of the last four.



Hitting Coach:

Mr. Daron Schoenrock



quote:

Auburn baseball and head coach Butch Thompson announced Daron Schoenrock as the program's new volunteer assistant and pitching coach on Aug. 1, 2022.

Schoenrock comes to the Plains with 38 years of coaching experience, including the last 18 seasons as the head coach at Memphis. His career also includes seven seasons as a pitching coach and recruiting coordinator in the Southeastern Conference at Kentucky (1998-99), Georgia (2000-01) and Mississippi State (2002-04).

Following his playing career at Tennessee Tech (1980-84), Schoenrock landed his first coaching gig as a graduate assistant at his alma mater for the 1985 season. He then served as a graduate assistant at Murray State from 1986-87 before becoming the head coach at Lincoln Memorial University from 1988-89.

As odd as it might sound we should be better on offense. The drop in the pitching staff will determine if this team can compete for a trip to Omaha again

Would like to ramp up discussion here a lil bit with a few questions to ask y'all:

1. What is our biggest strength in your opinion?

2. What will our record be by the end of the season?

3. Will we host a super-regional or at least a regional?

(I am also asking for that sticky so gimme it Riggo/LCT)

I think our P will be good. Loved seeing Jaegar at the facilities. Just shows Butch is willing to still learn and push the guys. Super impressive

Butch has offered a 9th grader I know. Throws 87. Can’t release the kids name yet. Butch doesn’t want it out this early. He will probably throw around 92 by the time he graduates. After you get to around 85 if you are able to increase your velocity by 1 mph per year is good development. Kid has nice loose arm action and hasn’t developed his lower body strength yet.

There is a kid at Hoover that needs a look ‘24 kid. 3rd baseman. Good pitcher, hitter, and fielder. Probably a pitcher or corner outfielder in college because is a very good athlete as well. Throws about 90.

He’s flying way under the radar but will be a potential draft pick as well.

Yep it’s insane. I went to a small high school but we played all the big schools and beat most and in my 5 years of playing varsity I only faced 4 pitchers that threw over 90. Now seems like every team has 1 guy that’s right at it. I’d say average high school pitcher throws 83-85.

Chase Isbell is a name to watch for to step up this year. He looked pretty good the couple times he got in the postseason. He will push for the closer role. He’s very good friends with my son and dated my stepson’s sister in high school.

It's going to be hitting and defense this year.

2. What will our record be by the end of the season?


Just went through the schedule and am going with 37-18 (17-13). No sweeps either way. SEC series wins against UGA, TAMU, @Bama, State, @SCAR, LSU, and Mizzou.

That record should have us hosting, but probably not national seed.

posted this in the wrong thread...

Butch was on a podcast with Jason Caldwell. Good interview he discussed a lot of the expected players.

Sounds like going into spring preseason scrimmages it'll be Gonzo, Allsup as the Friday Saturday starters. Chase Isbell the closer. Clearly all could shake up out of the scrimmages or the first few out of conference series. Got a lot of young arms

Good stuff Corch. The exhibition game I attended, Allsup had really good location and velocity. Gonzalez is a given weekend guy but I'm not sure who will emerge as the 3rd starter. Isbell looks strong and I expect him to fill in nicely as the closer this year. It will be interesting to see which young guns come out and grab some mound time this year. Butch has built a strong program with a great staff and they recruit well. AU baseball is in good hands. Looking forward to the season, only a few weeks away!

In the interview I can’t remember who he said his name was but one of the new lefties possibly being the Sunday guy.

One of the freshmen is throwing 95 so you have to figure he gets some innings in this year. Probably midweek game stuff early and go from there.

Chase Isbell isn’t Burkhalther tho. As much as I love the kid he’s got some huge shoes to fill in the closet role and you might see a round robin there some unless Chase just takes it over
