The top freshman position player to keep an eye on for @NCStateBaseball is @TyHead5, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound lefthanded hitter with quality tools across the board.

He can play all three outfield spots, and his bat has serious promise as he continues to add strength. pic.twitter.com/u7PY1Z9wNZ

^^ Really excited about what he brings to the table offensively.
Excited to see how the lineup shakes up.
On another note, decent podcast from (one of) TOS that had Sam Highfill on the back half. Good to hear from him. Good things to say about arm talent on this squad. Sounds like we will see a ton of arms early (as i'd expect honestly). Getting close...

Should be Starting LF
I know everyone is concerned about the bats. But the way I see it, there is roughly 13 guys for 9 spots. Someone is going to emerge. I think the offense will be fine.tau06 said:

I do too. We have 4 guys with a lot of experience in Nixon, Decriscio, Sosa, Hogue. Can almost put McHugh in here too since he has a year starting at the D1 level even though at a lower level (very high on him).
After that, we have JUCO bats in Jet and Fraasman, both of those dudes put up great numbers.
Then for the transfers we have 3 very highly ranked kids. I think Jaros could be very good, Lyons has very unique skill set, and Ossenfort has big power.
Following that up with Drew Lanphere who can really handle the bat, and Ty Head, the highest ranked kid on the team, I am very confident we can get 6-8 high level bats in the lineup. All the power of last year? Probably not- but should be more athletic.

What's your prediction on what the starting lineup looks like?

Opening weekend, this includes multiple guys getting a start, we will see IMO:
C: Sosa
1B: McHugh
2B: Nixon
3B: Heavner/Jaros (Hopefully healthy)
SS: DeCriscio
LF: Fraasman
CF: Jet/Head
RF: Hogue (Healthy)/Lyons
DH: Lanphere
SP: Fritton/Willadsen(Healthy)/Marohn. Consiglio starts for Matt if not ready to go.
I think Lanphere could play some left that weekend. Hogue & Jaros could also just DH if not ready to go in the field yet. Lyons can play multiple spots.
Going to be a fun team. I think Dom is going to have a big season. Also think Heavner continues to be a guy that you just can't take out of the game.

Jaros was playing the field in scrimmages this fall, so he will be fine there. He wasn't cleared to swing the bat until mid October

That is why I said "I know how Avent is" lol. Last years team did not have as much flexibility even with pinch hitters, so will be interesting to see how things shake out some but I know he is old school and will stick to one lineup at some point.Glasswolf said:He will experiment early but eventually stick with what works and who's hot.Jtilley said:I know how Avent is but wonder if we see more lineups on matchups this year.Alex Gee said:

As much as I hate seeing three lefties batting in the first four spots against a lefty SP, it is hard to argue against him most of the time with the outcomes.Glasswolf said:The Evil Genius will never change lolJtilley said:That is why I said "I know how Avent is" lol.

per a tweet- Willadsen expected to be ready for opening day (which was pretty well known) but Van Dam could be back by end of April.

I think you could see Lyons get the first crack at CF, if Houge is healthy.
I don't ever remember having this much pitching depth. Please stay healthy.
As I reported yesterday, NC State expects RHP Matt Willesden to be ready for the season opener.
RHP Shane Van Dam could return in late April, while the Pack does not think UNCG transfer Julien Peissel will be available in 2025.

Honestly could work out pretty well if Piessel can get an extra year of eligibility because of this.
