And THAT is why you sign draft risks a year or two in advance- you never know what’s going to happen. When Halter committed, I thought there was a < 20% chance of ever playing here.

Awesome! If he gets anywhere close to that stat line next year, he’ll be a great addition!

Will he be a DH? 22 errors in 209 chances.

Next 2B?

So what's the deal with this guy? Was he a player we signed out of high school who went to JUCO with the intent of going pro? Or did we sign him and then send him to JUCO because he was injured?

We signed him out of JUCO. Pro ball wants him as a pitcher, he wants to play in the field. We will let him play primarily in the field and probably pitch some (he has a mid 90s fastball and good frame). He was one of the best average/power combo hitters in JUCO last year.

I don’t think he has the glove to play SS in the SEC. I could see him moving to the outfield, possibly somewhere else in the infield, or DH. Halter doesn’t really have a position but if his bat can translate to this level he will play somewhere and be in the lineup.

We have a lot of position players worthy of playing time and limited spots to go around... It’s a good problem to have. We will be really damn good at the plate next season.
