Expectations next year?

I was at the game and the ruling was correct. It was a ball hit not extremely hard but deep in the hole with a fast runner. He had no shot of getting the out even if fielded cleanly.

This isn’t accurate. Joyce wasn’t drafted in 21 and was recovering from TJ surgery. He was an unknown.

Here's how it works. Unlike the NFL where you get drafted and have no choice, the MLB draft gives you a choice based on $. The team makes a call to you/your agent prior to drafting you, to ask if you will accept a specific amount. If you come to that agreement privately, they will take you with their pick. The MLB team needs to have that agreement prior to drafting you otherwise, they waste a draft pick. It's all agreed upon prior to the announcement. Joyce was offered 6 digits by a NL east coast team. He turned it down to come to Tennessee, play SEC ball, and get his degree. As for being drafted while recuperating from TJ? Well, just look at HS pitcher Dylan Lesko had TJ earlier this year and he will be a 1st rounder, and there's a slew of others. As for unknown on Joyce? He was bangin' 100+ at Walters State and had a following of MLB Teams. Here's the article from 2020.

Time to revisit this.
Starting Rotation: Burns, Beam, Dollander
Bullpen: Halvosern,Joyce,Kirby, Evans, Mabrey, McLaughlin, prob juco guys, Zechrist
3rd: Denton
SS: Ahuna
2B: Moore
1st: Burke
C: Dickey/Austin peay transfer
Dh: Prob rotation of Dickey, Backus, Tears
Outfielders: Stephenson, Scott, Backus, Chambers, Booker.
Deep bench where juco/incoming recruits could push for more playing time.
Absolutely Loaded again, hopefully have that same nasty mentality that keeps everyone crying.
Expectations: Win the whole F***ing thing

Expectations for LSU are going to be sky high with all they’ve added from the portal. They’ll be preseason #1 if they get Skenes.

D1 Baseball has us and LSU as the only consensus Way Too Early Top 8 for Omaha.

D1 always puts a lot of emphasis on returning pitching when doing their early projections.
With our proven rotation and bullpen, I'd be very surprised if we don't have to wear the #1 before our name from the start of the season.

Those projected Eight don’t look like we’ll be on the top rung. close, but not in the 1 spot.
