Draft is complete. Please ignore this list if you're not really bored.
It's a weird theoretical list (not a batting order) of who COULD start for Beavs next season, using only 2021 Roster players who saw significant action in 2021:
Pitchers: Hjerpe, Frisch, Pfennigs, Mundt, Verburg
Catcher: Claunch
1B: Melton/Forrester
2B: Ober
SS: Dukart
3B: Gretler
LF: Joe Casey
CF: McMahan
RF: Meckler
DH: Fuchs/Melton/Forrester

I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if Casey and McMahan are starting next year. They have had their shot. Time for new blood.

Joe Casey not coming back is 99%+ true. But, he does have eligibility - That's why I termed the list 'outside-the-box'. And maybe Claunch will sign a FA contract - as undrafted Kenyon Yovan and Gabe Matthews from a few miles south, already have. And Yovan had 1 more year of eligibility (I'm pretty sure - he was listed as a Redshirt Jr. this season). |

Kenyon Yovan suffered a season-ending injury in the 2019 opener and was granted a medical redshirt. So, yes, he was a junior. |

He is getting to be old with a bad injury history and is a liability in the field. An American League team is about the only spot that he could land. If this was a 30-round draft, I bet that Yovan would have been drafted. |

Being 23 without a projectable defensive position didn't help him. |

Yes, because there are a lot of American Legion kids that can hit 17 HR's in D-1 ball.....right. He's worth taking a shot on to see if he can improve in the field. |

He's worth taking a shot on to see if he can improve in the field. Wes Clarke hit 23 HRs as a catcher: 10th-rounder, pick #297. Niko Kavadas set Notre Dame's home run record with 22 HRs and was a D1Baseball, Baseball America and Perfect Game First-Team All-American: 11th-rounder, pick #316. Bobby Seymour was the ACC Player of the Year in 2019. He hit 21 HRs this year: 13th-rounder, pick #401. Griffin Doersching hit 20 HRs in three fewer games: undrafted. LSU's Gavin Dugas hit 19 HRs and was LSU's starting left fielder: undrafted. Kyle Battle, Mason McWhorter and R.J. Schreck each hit 18 HRs: undrafted. Brandon Lankford hit 17 HRs: undrafted. All power and no glove players are not really in that highly in demand. |

Similar to my thinking , however, I would see Reed ( with his speed ), to be a great leadoff hitter! I would also move Melton up in the order so get's as many AB's as possible in any given game.

Jmo I may not agree with the starters, but I agree with the sentiment. I think Reed if healthy is too good to keep out of the line-up. Bazzana(sp) is hitting .400 leading the league in hitting this summer. Melton hits 3rd in the lineup with his power and speed. Time to move on from Casey. I think Claunch moves on and Ober too. I forgot about Boyd...he starts in the outfield and move Meckler to DH. Hard to remember our whole huge roster. |
