Transfer Portal: UL Baseball

What happened to Matt Osteen, Alex Rosario, Aidan Grab, Matt Gaither and Drew Kirby? They were no longer on the roster towards the end of the season. Did they leave the program/get dismissed? All of them made a few pitching appearances. I would think that if they are no longer with the program that they will be entering the transfer portal.

They were all dismissed.

So far, Holzhammer is the only semi-surprise on that list.

He had some very good outings but some bad ones too. Had an ERA of 6.50.

We complain about the portal, but coaches can just dismiss... if not behavioral or grades that seems worse than the portal

[Cajunchuck]

They were all dismissed.

I left out Parker Dillhoff. Was he dismissed too before stating that he would be entering the portal?

So far doesn’t look like any guys moving up. Just a batch of misjudged talent/lack of development.

That is a bad recruiting sign..

That happens at every school. And some of these kids are talented guys…just don’t see a path to regular playing time as quickly as they want it.

It’s a combination of things. Everybody falls short sometimes. The frequency of the misses and their severity gets you a season like this one. We brought in a guy to be a weekend starter. He didn’t even end up being a reliever or weekday starter. Ultimately, he couldn’t even be trusted in weekday mop up. We let a guy go because he was a good kid but we didn’t have a spot for him. He would’ve hit for the 4th highest average on our team and lead us in SBs and he then waxed our ass when the season was on the line. Then you’ve got a guy like Hammer who takes a step back and doubles his walks in only a third more innings. Marcotte was the big surprise for me here. He got significant innings, showed promise at times, and has 3 years left to play. My guess would be a personal disconnect. Deggs has more than earned his shot to get this turned around. I personally won’t be heartbroken if Gunner moves on.

He was cut like the others mentioned. Part of the cuts Deggs does every year after finals.

Let’s be honest after watching USM and Coastal we have taken a big step backwards compared to their roster. We need to turn over the roster and get some dudes.
