2022 Ragin Cajuns Baseball Preview with Kendall Rogers

[JayWalker]

This team is pretty deep hitting wise. When you think that Jonathan Brandon who hit .247 in 89 AB's last season will be on the bench, as well as CJ Willis who hit .250 in 128 AB's last season and Brandon Talley who only hit .194 in 31 AB's but started to show what he could do late in the season. Not to mention Will Veillon and some of the other new players on this team.

It appears that Conner Kimple will be the 4th outfielder and he and some of the above names will play DH for the Cajuns.

Trey Lafleur and Warnner Rincones could be interesting names to watch for as well.

1st Base Carson Roccoforte backup Brandon Talley
2nd Base Bobby Lada backup Jonathan Brandon or Will Veillon
SS Kyle Debarge backup CJ Willis
3rd Base Tyler Robertson
Catcher Julien Brock
OF Conner Higgs backup Will Veillon
OF Heath Hood backup Conner Kimple
OF Max Marusak
DH Conner Kimple


Thoughts about the above lineup

Willis will probably back up Rocco. I think Talley is strictly a pitcher this year.
Rincones would have started at short if it weren't for DeBarge. He'll be the backup.
It's possible Rincones will start at 3rd. Depends on his bat. But I do think TR starts the season there.
Marusak is the CF. The other parts are interchangeable.
DH could be one of the outfielders. But Willis and/or Zambo are options as well.

Think the ceiling for this club offensively is a lot higher. Where we settle, I have no idea.

But, I did just get some pretty damn bad news for our bullpen. I'll let the team break the news but I'm disappointed, to say the least. Still, we have some major depth on paper, from a reliever standpoint.

Talley, Schultz, or Wilson? ):

I’m going to let the player and the coaches release that info.

However, sounds like Kendall was very accurate on his projected lineup. Not bad for a National guy…
