Abernathy could be someone like that. Elite freshman hitting a wall with SEC pitching isn’t going out too far on a limbI just wonder who will have the jinx. Hit great in the fall and not hit at all in the spring. It has happened the past 5 years and some in the know say it has happened for about 20 years. Maybe it will be broken. But I doubt it. Never could explain it.
This year's team will have less experience for sure except in a couple of positions, SS and CF for sure, so can't judge it.
Updated Perry’s status as OFF TEAM but didn’t impact my projected starting lineup as I had Bargo starting at 1B. I think Levi Clark, Hunter High, and Stone Lawless will get some more backup reps at 1B now that Perry is no longer on the team.I’ve taken the Fall Ball rosters (and assigned #s) and updated the projected 2025 roster. I’m simply using an educated guess for projected starters and who “Will Be” on the final roster as it’s obviously subject to change based on Winter conditioning, “Freeze” Training in Jan/Feb, and injuries. Of course some will decide to transfer (such as JJ Garcia and Cole Eaton (TCU). Others will be placed at preferred JUCOs, redshirted, decide D1 baseball isn’t for them, or politely told they aren’t a good fit.

Same. Looks like there’s about 13 more players that won’t make the active 40 man roster for 2025. This will be the last season with bloated Fall and season rosters. It looks likely that Fall rosters for 2026 season will be capped at 38, and 2026 season active rosters will be capped at 34 (and officially announced no later than Dec 1st).I hate to hear this about Perry, I was hoping for a big year from him , hopefully he gets everything worked out and gets another chance .
I don’t know that I’d say two instances in two years constitutes a trend.Seems like we have 1-2 contributors ‘step away’ from the team each year.
I can’t remember them outside of Zane Denton, but seems like there’s someone we are excited about that always ends up in this ‘personal matter’ area.
Hopefully Alex Perry is able to get the time to himself/his family/his matters he needs, and rejoin the team!
