Good rumor of one I would be really excited about.
Any insight on this? Is there a name?

It's a big bat we've been working on for weeks
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.

You could probably figure out in 5-10 mins if you really wanted to know and understood basic twitter. haha

Well, he said that he is following us on Instagram, not Twitter. And our baseball team's Instagram account doesn't allow you to browse through followers as Meta limits stuff like that for certain verified accounts.

Good get, like the depth but I am assuming that's not the big bat?

By the looks of Sherman Johnsons commitment post on instagram, Indiana transfer Andrew Wiggins was on a visit at the same time he was.

Not to be that guy, but how is a guy who hit .256 with 4 HRs in the Big 10 potentially a big transfer? Ryder Woodson just rode the bench the entire season and had only one less HR in 30 ABs.

Not to be that guy but Woodson did it against Stetson and another lower tier team. Woodson went 0-fer with what, 3 Ks against Auburn? Loved what Woodson did but Wiggins is all about potential, but as this old dude on another one of the websites used to say, "potential is a french word that means hasn't done sht yet". lol

But seriously, I don't care if we get Wiggins or not but what's wrong with him coming as depth? I mean, everyone has McHugh penciled in as an OF next year and Ty Head is a dog in center. Devin Mitchell put up big numbers at a big time JUCO so he could be the guy in a corner spot as well as returning starter Brayden Fraasman.

https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=607689

Wiggins was a top 50 kid as rated by PG in 2023, the 5th best OF in his class. PBR had him 59th overall.

With spots to fill, why not?

Looking at his numbers, the kid walked more than he struck out so there's a lot to work with there for Hart.

In addition to those high school rankings, he's currently rated #12 in the portal by 64Analytics.



Think it would be a huge pickup... but would he come if the other guy (big bat guy) commits?

Definitely hear what you are saying, and don't even disagree, but this kid has day 1 type potential next year. IF he puts it together (wherever he plays) next year it could be a monster get. His metrics are great.

Got no problem with him coming in as depth, hell that would be a stellar depth add.

If Wiggins is a good hitter, why doesn't he hit good?

No. Much more excited for what I hope is to come.

Not to say Sherman isn't a good take.

Billy Beane would love this kid. He gets on base at a pretty high clip and walks more than he strikes out. haha

6'4 225 and can run. I mean it's intriguing as hell.
