Man that is one solid update. Looking forward to seeing this team!
I... just don't get baseball signings and eligibiity. It seems like (?) we've had players who actually signed then returned to play for us, though getting a paycheck? Or is it just that players drafted and unsigned were 'retained' by the team that drafted the player, even though they returned to play.
Also confused: who actually left and who stayed overall. Can we get a toddl -type roster chart showing turnover per position, showing class, and incoming signees?
No, no one has signed after being drafted and returned to play baseball again. They lose their eligibility once they sign. You might be thinking of kids that also play football that sign to play professional baseball after being drafted. If they don't make it as professional baseball players, some go back to college to play football. That's happens.
The player's "rights" used to be owned by the team that drafted them for a year until right before the next draft or the player went to (or back to) school. There was a lot more to it that I don't remember or don't know but the rules changed.
You should take some time and read back through a couple of the threads about the draft and one titled "next season". Lots of good info in there but here's the short(ish) and sweet version...
Drafted/Previous starting lineup1B- Austin Murr- drafted by the Detroit Tigers and signed. He gone.
2B- JT Jarrett- will return next seasonSS- Jose Torres - drafted by the Cincinnati Reds and signed. He gone.
3B- Vojtech Mensik- signed with the LA Angels as a free agent. He gone.
C- Luca Tresh - drafted by the KC Royals and just signed. He gone.
DH- Terrell Tatum- drafted by the Chicago White Sox and signed. He gone.
LF- Jonny Butler - drafted by the Oakland A's and signed. He gone.
CF- Tyler McDonough - drafted by the Boston Red Sox and signed. He gone.
RF- Devonte Brown - not drafted and will be back next season. Huge to get him back. P - Evan Justice - drafted by the Colorado Rockies and signed. He gone
P- Reid Johnston- drafted by the Cleveland Guardians and signed. He gone.
P- Dalton Feeney- honored with the seniors. Don't think he'll be back but no clue.
P- Cam Cotter - He's had some serious arm injuries. Probably shouldn't play baseball anymore, doubt he's back.
P- Canaan Silver - no idea if he's back or not. 2021 was his 4th year in college.
Kids in the portal (Transfers out)Logan Bender - no idea where he ends up
Danny Carnazzo - no idea where he ends up. Back out west, maybe?
Bryce Behmer - transferred to a JUCO
https://gopack.com/sports/baseball/rosterI'm not going to list out everyone that's returning b/c we could (and probably will) have some kids leave before the 2022 roster is put out.
Transfers inOF Trey Truitt - From ECU and was on the roster this year but basically redshirted.
OF Dom Pilolli - From UNCC.
OF/INF Gino Groover - From UNCC
OF/INF Sam Hall - Clemson
C Matt Oldham - Elon
SS Josh Hood - Penn
JUCOs1B/OF Brady Lavoie - Palomar College
P Jacob Widener - Palomar College
P Logan Adams - College of Central Florida
C Jacob Godman - College Southern Nevada
P Justin Lawson - Bossier Parish CC
C Tucker Mitchell - State College of Florida (drafted by the Rangers but hasn't signed yet)
Recruitshttps://www.perfectgame.org/College/CollegeCommitments.aspx?college=1685The link is a listing of the incoming 2021 recruits. Khalil Watson will not be coming to State. He's probably (99.99999999% sure) going to sign with the Miami Marlins, who drafted him in the first round (16th pick).
That should allow you to piece it together, for the most part.
