Fuchs had seven RBI in the Pac-12 tournament. Could have had 14 if he was really trying, I guess.

Fuchs is the tip of the OSU icebereg in the Portal. There will be more returning roster players with eligibility you might expect to see return, that won't. A large part of the '22 squad can return (some will be cut) + a large 21 member recruiting class comes in (some will be cut) + any JC pick-ups, and/or Portal transfers (I don't think we are done).
Roster management is now a major issue for the OSU coaching staff - adding and subtracting from now until the end of fall ball.

Fuchs wasn’t a bad egg. We have enough guys in and around the program to identify and remove those type. Fuchs looked overwhelmed to me. Like he wanted to measure up, but he didn’t believe in himself enough. Maybe being on a team without the major the likes of Melton would be good for him.

Fuchs had seven RBI in the Pac-12 tournament. Could have had 14 if he was really trying, I guess. April 15th was the midpoint of the season. At that time, Fuchs was hitting .277/.413/.338 OPS: .751 Afterwards, Fuchs hit: .188/.348/.246 OPS: .594 At the Pac-12 Tournament, Fuchs hit .190/.240/.238 OPS: .478 Fuchs had the worst batting average of the nine starters against Washington. Fuchs had a silver sombrero against California. He did drive in Garrett Forrester on a long fly ball, though to put Oregon State up 1-0. Greg Fuchs was the first out in a strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play in game one against UCLA. He left two on in the fourth with an infield popup. After Oregon State batted around in the fifth, he left Logan at third with another fly ball. He finally hit a ground ball to short, which ended the ninth with two runners on. He personally wasted six runners in a game that ultimately wound up tied after nine. He led the team in men left on base. Dukart was pulled in the fifth after a walk and a strikeout. Outside of Dukart, Fuchs was the only starter, who did not score a single run. Meckler scored five, Boyd scored four; Melton scored three; Forrester, Logan, and Bazzana each scored two; and Derne even scored a run. Gretler scored two after entering in the fifth. Kasper scored one after coming on in the seventh. Fuchs drove in three on a bases-clearing double to right in the third but was otherwise quiet on a day, where everyone else was loud. Fuchs had an RBI base hit to right to score Forrester in game two against UCLA. He scored on a Dukart sac fly. Oregon State hit around. He then drove in Bazzana in the second with a sac fly of his own. Fuchs struck out, flew out, and hit an infield popup to end his day. I am still a fan of his reaction to Bazzana coming home with Fuchs in the on-deck circle, though, to end the game. Fuchs had a ground ball RBI in the fourth with two runners in scoring position. He struck out in the fifth with the bases juiced. His four men left, three in scoring position, led the team. You are being glib, but Fuchs left 10, 6 in scoring position in game one against UCLA and the Championship Game against Stanford alone. And that is really more like 7 in scoring position with Bazzana running in game one against UCLA. I am going to stick to my guns here. |

The coaches know their players. They know exactly what they are capable of. So obviously Fuchs was showing a good amount of potential during practices and such. I think we have enough players on the team to take his place if the coaches saw anything negative. Getting practice to translate to game is the challenge of any athlete and every coach. |

I just disagree with your attacks on his personality, effort and relationship with his teammates. |

Fuchs wasn’t a liability… but he had opportunity, and when you’re an elite program, and the Beavs are….. numbers get difficult. I wish him well.

I hate to see Dukart go. They guy should have been a stud. Size and at one time looked like a potential SS. I guess the 3B situation sucked all year for both those guys. I would guess his brother will also be going down the road.

Two left side/middle infielders in the portal (Myro IV and J. Dukart).
That means Dernedde, Trosky, Gretler, Guerra and Bazzana....plus Ely Kennel, and maybe another incoming (Macias? young Forrester? other??) are in it to lock down 2B - SS - 3B.
Personally, I'm big on Trosky. And I'm hopeful on Guerra - if he adapts to D-1 college pitching (ala Michael Gretler).

Macias, Kennel, Krieg (may pitch), lil Donkey and Hill are all coming in. If Krieg stays out of the bullpen he is a very interesting prospect at 3rd. 6’5” 220 lb, if he can translate his game to college he’s a solid 300 hitter with 500 OBP. Either way we should have a wealth of talent making for a competitive off season. |

Fuchs drove in three on a bases-clearing double to right in the third but was otherwise quiet on a day. Always love statements like this. "Aside from the really good things he did, he sucked." See also: "If you take out the 70 yard touchdown run, he only had 50 yards on the day and averaged less than 4 yards per carry," or |
