Very true, he’s pretty solid defensively, but we should have a better option.

Great point. When he came to the plate, I thought he should just leave the bat on his shoulder. No DP, and a good chance for a walk with that pitcher.

With the new immediate transfer file and the NIL stuff, there is no reason we can’t have the best SS in the nation next year (and any other position where hitting is a liability....cough cough Hatcher)

That's a miss in recruiting. He can't field at all. This staff is in year 3 and this is the best we've got? They need to recruit better.

This staff didn’t recruit hardly any of the current roster. Lemonis’ first real class isn’t even here yet. Read up more on the length of the baseball recruiting cycle.

You mean we can't recruit Jucos or grab transfers? I know plenty about recruiting. There's no excuse.

You’re right….we’re the only SEC school without 9 guys who can all hit .300 and field at a .990 clip at every defensive position***

Tell me what SS recruits we missed on from the JUCO or transfer ranks that are head and shoulders above what we have between James and Forsythe offensively and defensively.

Help is in the way. Jordan McCants, TJ’s younger brother, is a Bulldog signee from Pensacola Catholic. He has run 3.8 on the gun from home to first. He has clocked a 6.56 second 60 yard dash. He played 2nd base his junior year with TJ playing short, then Jordan moved to short his senior year. He will give Ince and Forsythe competition right out of the shoot.

The kid better get in the weight room in the off season and add about 20 LBs and work his tail off on his hitting because competition is coming.

That will be entertaining having one brother at MSU and the other at UM and neither is from MS.

Help is on the way...until the MLB draft.

I think "shock" would be more appropriate. The kid really just looks out of place.

He’s most likely going pro so it won’t matter, but you’re not really selling his ability at SS since he couldn’t beat his brother out at SS, then Ole Miss promptly moved said brother to the outfield.

Since the start of the Ole Miss series Forsythe is batting .158 with 25k, 8bb, 8rbi, and 8e. If you take out his 4 hits against The Citadel and Jacksonville State he is hitting .113 over the remaining 23 games.

He should be bunting a whole lot more.

We should have addressed this mid year and took our chances with leggett. At least he takes alpha swings
