UNC Baseball Recruiting Board
- Thread starter TommyAshley
- Start date
With Hull likely going to the draft, and Kellis/French graduating, I hope we at least talk to Bino Watters. Will cost a good amount, but really good player. Even if we don't, I trust the staff to identify replacements
Whats the thoughts on Nunez, Sowers, Hargett, or Black being able to step in next year?
I would assume Nunez has the best shot based on usage this season, but the others could take a step forward. They’ve all shown promise at points.
I think it’ll end up being Howe, Egrie and Nunez.
Assuming Schwartz commits wouldn’t be surprised to see him compete for a corner OF spot
My uneducated guess at the lineup for 2027
1 - CF, CJ Ergie (R). 325 (BA) / 474 (OBP) / 920 (OPS) + 46 steals. Gonna be a fun player
2- SS, Jamie Laskofski (L). 355 / 464 / 1129. Hits for a surprising amount of power
3 - 3B, Cooper Nicholson (R) 262 / 432 / 1002. Surprisingly good plate discipline
4 - C/DH, Macon Winslow (R) 293 / 427 / 916
5- 1B, Eric Paulsen (L) 296 / 423 / 910
6 - 2B, Kole Fenton (R) 397 / 477 / 1107. Good chance to make a huge impact early and move up in the lineup
7 - OF, Jayden Nunez (R) 286 / 394 / 858
8 - OF, Tyler Howe (L) 245 / 373 / 713. Need a big jump at the plate from him
9 - DH/C/OF, Russel / Schwartz (R) Both have consistency concerns, but have ~950 OPS upside
We add some serious speed and power to replace Hull and Schaffner. We add a high upside player to replace Gallaher. And the catchers to replace Hynek. Then we really just need some development from the existing guys to take us over the top

I agree with you on Ergie. That kid is ridiculously fast.
I went through about half of their box scores this morning and it looks like he got most of his work this season in Right Field.
Kentucky transfer that we’re expected to land. Catcher and OF
Could be good competition for Howe.
Note: I thought he was mostly a catcher, so thanks for the deep review!
Jamie Laskoski overview, he had 36 stolen bases to go with his crazy power too (1.100+ OPS):
One thing I can guarantee. I bet he doesn’t pimp a HR like that here hahaha
Think he enjoyed his time in Chapel Hill enough to come back for a longer stay?
Probably LSU, like every other fricken big time transfer lol
Not sure the running style in those clips will translate to any appreciable stolen bases at the ACC level. Maybe the video is off, but looks like he is drunk while running, lol! Just hope he can play defense and hit the ball! Any SB's will be a bonus...
I've seen mentions on Twitter, Reddit, etc. that LSU is trying hard to poach Glauber. Anyone here heard anything?
Great sources. What are they saying on Facebook?
IDK why ncaa opens portal before end of season in every sport. Makes no sense
Britt is coming. He is moving into Cobb Hall on Tuesday.
That’s definitely good news, but he could still withdraw from school if the offer is too good from the pros. IIRC, Donovan Tate was on campus at the start of fall football camp and then left when he signed his MLB deal.
