Since there are few "household" names in college baseball I figure this is a good way to for everyone to share some info on their team.
Team:
Best returning player?
Player most likely to take the big leap forward?
Top newcomer?

Team: Arkansas
Best returning player? 1a. Blaine Knight 1b. Dominic Fletcher 1c. Grant Koch
Player most likely to take the big leap forward? Evan Lee
Top newcomer? We have bigger names, but I believe Heston Kjerstad will make the biggest impact from the freshmen class.

Best returning player?
Brandon Shewmake in a walk off. First team all american as a true freshman by several publications. He's a big lean guy that can hit for avg and power. He's moving from 2B to SS this year.
OBP-.381
SLUG-.538
OPS-.919
Player most likely to take the big leap forward?
George Janca. He was the everyday 3B last year and did well, but nothing spectacular. He spent the summer in the cape cod league and mashed fairly well. He's heading into his JR year with a little draft buzz so hopefully, it carries over into the year. However, he was a slow starter last year and didn't exactly tear up fall ball.
Top newcomer?
The obvious answer would be the true freshman, Jack Conlon, who spurned the O's who drafted him in the 4th round. Maybe even true freshman Chadler Jozwiak who won the Saturday night starting job, but I am going to go with NJCAA player of the year Michael Helman. He should be at the top of the order with Shewmake and Janca nearby to drive him in or visa versa.

There is something in common about these guy's fanbases.

Best returning player is Ryan Rolison. He's a likely top 10 draft pick in June.
Cooper Johnson is who I expect to really take a step forward. He was bad offensively at the beginning of last year but seemed to have adjusted by the end.
Anthony Servidio is the newcomer I expect to have the most impact. There is a spot in the infield to make some noise.

Hess was a midweek starter, right? Why did he move to the pen?

Is he one of those 21-year-old SOs? If not then he's got another year before he's draft eligible.

He was impressing coaches so much in bullpen's the middle of last season that they gave him a shot being a setup guy once or twice and he never gave the ball back so to say.

Having problems with my phone. Give me a break!
Justin Lewis will be a monster this year on the mound with Hjelle. According to the KSR baseball podcast, Austin Keen is going to see a lot of time on the mound. Surprise will be Collett behind the plate...I think he will have a big year catching as well as producing on offense.
Season starts Friday...I can’t wait!

Bold prediction, Daniel Cabrera is going to win National FOY.
But seriously, he's going to be awesome.
Best returning players will be Zach Watson in the lineup and Zack Hess at pitcher.
Players most likely to take a leap forward IMO will be Jake Slaughter and Josh Smith.
