btownqb Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 This seems to be a substantial pick up. We've gotten multiple studs from John A Logan in the past... 86-90 from the left side, so we could have 4 or 5 lefties next year we can go to. Keyster has been ultra productive: 1.92 ERA over 75 innings https://www.loganvols.com/sports/bsb/2022-23/players/brandonkeysterclcv?view=career&pos=p 0.95 WHIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted June 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Sinnard, Kraft, Foley, Risedorph, Keyster is a formidable Top 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost 9 arms via graduation or transferring out-- Yoho, Vega, Hellman, Seiler, Levy, Bothwell, Hayden, Ball, and Burton... Those 9 threw 192 innings last season at a 7.35ERA... the rest of the staff (11 other guys)-- 364 innings-- 4.15ERA, and that is including all 6 FR pitchers. Whiteaker, I think he could be a Sunday starter next year.. was 90-94mph in the B1GT, and I was a little disappointed we didn't see him in the NCAAs, I sort of understood it though. Ethan Phillips is for sure going to be in the mix... Grant Holderfield-- out with an injury this season, but as a TR FR-- 41.1IP 52Ks. And LHP... Manase could be a Sun starter. Brooks Ey, Cooper Katskee, ADP... Plus.. I think 6'7 245lbs Jacob Vogel will make the roster. He RS last season to work on his body, mechanics. He's throwing 94mph currently. That puts IU at 14 pitchers...plus at least three more additions via grad transfers... and then multiple ranked incoming FR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted June 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 I really like where we are at pitching staff wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted June 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Goforth in the portal. I'm taking that as one of the incoming FR, Joey Brenczewski, or portal was going to fill 2B/SS with Cerny filling the other one... Goforth was going to be left out again.

btownqb Posted July 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 big pick up here.. especially if Whalen moves on. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=mitche003nic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted July 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=burcke003bra Really solid portal pickup here... .260/.379/.365 in 105 career games 500 ABs.. He stole 24 bags this year would be like stealing 60+ in the MLB.. This move might get Cerny to SS, or maybe this kid can play SS. At minimum it creates infield depth after Goforth moved on.. But again.. we have two Top 200 infielders coming in. Burckels fielding % was .966 this season, Cerny was .962 and he's an excellent defender. I like the addition here.

btownqb Posted July 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 If Burckels starts.. plus defender, plus speed.. .380 OBP and he would hit 9th... Mitchell will hit 1st I'd assume.. then all the power--- Pyne, Tibbits, Taylor, Mathison, Cerny, Wiggins in the thick of the lineup.. Find a catcher that can be average defensively, hit .250 (sound familar, Peter Serruto)... 😳😳😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted August 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 We've picked up two more relief pitchers.. one from Gonzaga, one from Boston College. I think thats 6 or 7 relief guys that are grad transfers/seniors that are headed to Bloomington. I can't imagine them all making the roster, but it should make for great competition in the fall. Along with Vogel, Keyster (JUCO), and the FR.. We should be able to find the necessary pieces to compliment-- Sinnard, Risedorph, Bothwell, Foley, Kraft..
