Good year!! We advanced. Looking forward to next year!

Higgs stelly and yuhaz Broussard back in the outfield Lee and zambo in the infield Jose behind the plate. Have to get middle infielders for next year and cuff can DH or zambo. Pitching C Mo will be the Friday night guy Martinez and Hermann be back with hopefully Dylan theut healthy. Pick up some more arms but the foundation is there to build on.

This was a fun season. Top 25. Regular season champs.

After losing Roccoforte, Brock, and Hood last year; I was curious to see what kind of bats we would have in the lineup. This year we are losing Taylor, Lafleur, DeBarge, and Higgs. But seeing the new guys like Pastore, Torres, and sometimes Cuff step into those roles made me realize that Deggs has a way of bringing in some raw talent. I also think that we can recruit more pitchers to Gunner’s philosophy. That will be key. If we can do that, I do expect pitching to improve over time especially with consistency.

All in all, I think we will be in good hands in the near future to where we will continue to compete on a national level.

We ran out of pitching. Good season.

[RaginScotsman]

Hate that it's over, but the team is getting better year over year under Deggs.

3 straight regionals. We finally won 2 games in the regional and knocked off a traditional power along the way.

Lots to improve and I'm sure they'll do it. First thing, walk more and walk them less . Happy offseason.

Agree we got a raw deal with the draw, but 9/10 we weren't going to make it out of a Super with our pitching anyway.

Sucks, but it is what it is. Call it a good season and move on. Hopefully we can take the next step in 2025.

Not a bad showing this weekend for a squad that “wasn’t deserving of post season play” or “not a Regional team”.

Nice bounce back vs Texas yesterday.

The team is one of the few in the nation to win over 40 games and a regular season title. Ending the season of a school that has 4 times our resources is something to celebrate in its own right. Yes, it is disappointing to not be able to follow the guys any longer. In time they will be proud of what they accomplished

[Duckster]

IMO a very good season. The coaches, players, and fans have a lot to be proud of. Winning the SBC in baseball this year is a big accomplishment. If we can somehow elevate to a Top 16 seed, hosting a regional stacks the odds more in our favor to advance. Seems like there is momentum towards Top 16 level.

Higgs may be back, 50/50 from what I've been told. Yes, it's difficult to replace guys that you hit on like DeBarge, Roccaforte, Brock and Hood. Ideally guys that play above their talents like Torres and Pastore are more available to develop.

The pitching is the challenge and will continue to be the challenge every year. While Coach Leger has done a great job in his first season, we still have to find guys with arm talent. The history is we have had 1 staff in the last 24 years to make it to Omaha and that was done by one of the best college pitching coaches anywhere. We didn't have enough in 2014, 2016 and 2017. And we haven't had enough in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Once again, this staff will have to look everywhere in the environment of NIL and the transfer portal.
