The LF was our other freshman catcher. That was his first time playing the position. He's getting transitioned there because of his bat and because Cooper Johnson is a defensive prodigy.
Gotcha. Well it showed. Otherwise, impressive series win. Looked pretty good for a young team.
For any OM fans (I casually follow them after 3 years of grad school there), what's the pitching staff look like? Who is really good? Any flamethrowers out of the pin? Impact freshman?

Freshman in the field
C - Cooper Johnson is a stud on D. Not a world beater hitting
LF/DH - Dillard can rake. Learning LF
SS- Kessinger supposedly good on D
1st - Zabroski looked solid
Juco 1st/DH has looked solid
Rollison, Holston, and Ethridge look to be the first freshman that will get a look on the mound.
Signed a very solid pitching class but will probably only see a few of them as we returned 7 or so guys who threw significant innings last year

I still don't have a ton of confidence in the rotation. Parkinson (Fri) moved to the rotation from the bullpen last season out of necessity. He's good but not the same caliber as other Friday starters in the SEC (the SEC is loaded there this year). McArthur (Sat) is a soph with a ton of potential, but he's been inconsistent in the past. Feigl (Sun) is a soph and probably has the best "stuff" of the starters, but he's 2 years removed from TJ's surgery and hasn't had a chance to show himself as a starter.
As for the freshmen, Will Ethridge, Ryan Rolison, and Greer Holston are the big names. They'll all be starters eventually, but not this season. Rolison has the highest upside, but Ethridge is better currently. I expect Ethridge to be announced as the midweek starter this week and Rolison and Holston to help in the pen. I think Holston will probably be #5 in the extra midweek games.
