Foley got upside money. He has work to do and time to get it done. I think he and Sinnard can make the show as high end relievers if they do the work. Mitchell is a very good hitter, and athletic enough to make a solid leadoff man outfielder with some time and I respect his grit to get it done.

Not related but Tibbitts is in a tough spot. He is a better prospect than where he was drafted but if he returns, and selfishly I would love that, can he move up enough to offset the senior disadvantage in contract negotiation?

Just saw Carl James is reporting that neither Cooper M nor Henry B signed with Brewers so listing them as coming to campus in Fall
Appreciate the update from Carl. Of the players entering the portal, only Ryan Rushing decided to return which helps solidify the pitching staff's lefty numbers.

I've been keeping an eye on the portal as to where players that have entered portal are going to transfer to. There are still several that haven't indicated a destination so far (eight by my count), but I haven't followed their social accounts.

We are entering a pretty dead period with not much news on the program. The release of the fall schedule and the release of the schedule for the upcoming season are pretty much it from between now and the new season.

Here's the link to Carl's roster list as of right now.

I'm sure there are some pitchers in there that I just don't recognize them or whatever, but I'd feel better if we had some experienced arms on that list.
 
Curious with 52 listed and only 35 available some serious competition going to be had and I can only imagine some disappointment as well. Tough being an incoming freshman these days in college baseball.

The listing is a rough guess and has quite a few (>the 5 class of 26 entries recently added). The roster limit remains at the post covid 40 for ‘25. But the will be serious pitching competition at a minimum.
