I already cant wait to get back to Haymarket park to watch this club next March! I am so proud of our team for competing this weekend.. next year lets host a regional so we can be a rowdy environment for other teams! Might be one of the last NU Baseball posts as its full steam ahead to FB from here on out. Here are some things to look for this offseason/fall ball:
Seniors:
Jaxon Hallmark - The way that dude ended the season, there is a chance he could be drafted higher than we thought like a month ago. Good chance we lose him, even with a bonus year left.
Logan Foster - He's done.
Joe Acker - Another player sure to be drafted in the first 15 rounds of the draft.
Chance Hroach - Draft candidate that is out of eligibility after transferring from NMSU.
Luke Roskam - Technically has a year of eligibility left but if he is drafted I could see him leaving
Gunner Hellstrom - He's done.
Mojo Hagge - his 10 year career is finally over.
Max Schreiber - FA somewhere in the Minors
Juniors to be possibly drafted
Cam Wynne - outside chance of drafted in first 20 rounds but probably too late to validate not coming back for senior year - probably our #1 reliver coming back
Cade Povich - Drafted - probably wont return
Spencer Schwellenbach - Improved his drafted stock tremendously this year - enjoy the majors big fella
Juniors to return
Tyler Martin LHP
Colby Gomes - back from surgery - hopefully a big part of the Husker bullpen next year - maybe starter?
Cam Chick
Koty Frank
Jake Bunz
Kyle Perry - pumped for him to enter weekend rotation
Shay Schanaman - him and Perry are going to be dangerous
Griffin Everitt - new starting catcher
Erfy Cervantas - big shoes to fill with Spencer leaving - bat needs to improve
Underclassmen to have bigger impact
Max Anderson - definitely a big impact in his freshman season but how much better does he get from year 1 - 2
Bryce Mathews - do you move Anderson to short if Cervantas transfers or benched due to his bat? Bryce showed some serious skill at 3rd during the regional.
Emmet Olson - I can see him move into a setup role starting next year
Recruits:
Bolt stated that the 2021 recruiting class is one of NU's best ever. Ranking 35th nationally, its probably low enough that none of the recruits are good enough to be drafted high enough to forego college and go straight pro. Drew Christo - the son of ex- NU QB Monte Christo will make an impact next year.
CJ Hood from Norris will also be a fresh arm out of the bullpen
Another instater Luke Jessen will be an stand out in the outfield as a possible replacement for Hagge, Acker, or Hallmark.
