Now that we know who has signed, here's how it looks like the team will be in 2017:
Roster
C: Amditis
1B: Barr
2B: Bautista
SS: Ruiz
3B: Michelangeli
OF: Davison, Chester, Tackett
DH: Cooley
Bench: Gonzalez, Alvarez, Crocitto, Gomez, 3-4 Freshmen
SP: Cabezas
SP: Mediavilla
SP: Lepore
Weekday SP: Sosa or Pimentel
Closer: Bartow
Bullpen: Veliz, Studstill, Meyer, Musa, McKendry, Hammond, 2-3 other Freshmen
Analysis
Strengths: Speed & baserunning, defensive range, hitting for average, starting ptiching
Weaknesses: Lack of power, lack of strong arms in the field, unproven bullpen with no lefties
Thoughts: The success of this team comes down to Freshmen pitching and JUCO hitting. The incoming players are extremely talented, but it remains to be seen how that talent will translate. If everything comes together, this could be a National Seed that returns to Omaha. If not, this will be a 2 or 3 seed that is an easy out in Regionals
