I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.
True lol
There is also Head (If he makes it here) who can cover a ton of ground in CF.CLTWolf said:James Henderson said:I would think Hogue in RF, Fraasman LF, and Thompson in CF.Packsd14me said:
CLT, how does Fraasman's arm translate? Offensively, he looks very athletic at the plate although all his good hits but one seem middle in, his bat looks pretty good. Between Thompson and he, who is the CF and could either play RF? Or could Bechtel be in play there?
Prolly swap Hogue and Fraasman. Hogue started in LF and played 19 games there until Soles got hurt then he moved to Right. Fraasman played RF this year for Lincoln Trail with a game or two in center sprinkled in.
Good news is we know Hogue can play RF as well with 17 starts there until he got hurt.
Fraasman apparently ran a 6.63 sixty at a scout day a year ago so he's plenty fast to play center if needed, IMO.
He was a HS catcher so his arm should have plenty of juice from out there.
No doubt. But until the draft ends and either his name isn't called or he turns down draft money I'm not counting on him for anything. hahaJtilley said:There is also Head (If he makes it here) who can cover a ton of ground in CF.CLTWolf said:James Henderson said:I would think Hogue in RF, Fraasman LF, and Thompson in CF.Packsd14me said:

I feel the same way about Fitz
It is a positive that both Fitz and head are at least on campus

100% just have to keep them
We should have a pretty good idea next week. If they are drafted top five rounds they are for sure gone and already had a deal in place. Anything round 10 on and so will be a waiting game to see if that club doesn't sign someone.Glasswolf said:

If they are drafted in the top 10 rounds they are signing. Hell, just looking at the results from last year, anyone picked in the first 14 or so rounds are gonna sign.Jtilley said:We should have a pretty good idea next week.

Oh boy
Yea that is really what I meant. I know in years past MLB had that weird rule where money was allocated different for guys drafted rounds 6-10 and they were almost always college guys.CLTWolf said:If they are drafted in the top 10 rounds they are signing.

The draft rules has changed so much for me to keep up with but you're right, if you are drafted in the first 10 rounds in HS you already have a deal in place for the most part.
Some very interesting names I am keeping a eye on in the portal and they have power bats
Slow News day
Has nothing to do with the portal but didn't feel like making a new thread for it.
But.. the new Indoor Facility at the USA Complex in Cary is absolutely amazing.

It looks cool from the photos from what I have seen of it
Next time you're out there, holler at me and if I'm there I'll give you a tour.JCooke93 said:

We had a practice tonight out there tonight. It's phenomenal. Kudos to the TOC, Wake County, and USA Baseball. Very well done.
I was thinking about this earlier but I wonder how much of our NIL money is tied towards guys that are draft eligible?

‘26 Kellen Smith (NC) breaks this game wide open w/ a 3-run shot! Been extremely consistent in the box for the Dirtbags & figures to continue to be a factor. #WWBA @PG_Coastal #Pack9 commit https://t.co/bWv1HSV3uq pic.twitter.com/WyY3appRZo

Nice
Hm
Can you share anything?
Right now a Arkansas Outfielder is a new target and a CP from a university in California is also a new target
And Tab Tracey from A&M is also a new target but he is a draft risk also up playing in the Cap Cod League so
Go Pack9

Liberty coach Scott Jackson leaving his head coaching spot to join UNC as an assistant. Could be something to monitor as they have quite a few guys from the state/region.
Yup going to be very interesting and to see who at liberty goes into the portal

Looks like Kane Kepley is their best player and he's from South Rowan.

Yup, saw that. Big time hitter, it seems. Also have a couple decent arms from NC as well
