Texas Baseball Fall Ball

[TexasBaseballBlog]

Hi guys - if you weren't aware, Texas Baseball kicked off Fall Ball yesterday against SHSU and won 9-3. We have a writeup (including some great shots by Donald Boyles) on Texas Baseball Blog, as well as the Baseball section of HornSports. The team looked much improved over last season, and Tommy Nicholson seems to be having an impact on the bats already.

If you would like to catch the team in action, they will be playing another game this coming Sunday (the 28th) against Texas State, which is always a solid matchup. The game will be at the Disch at 1pm, $5/adults, kids get in free.

As always, you can also keep up with us on Twitter (@TXBaseballBlog) and Facebook. /shamelessplug

Hook 'em!

Awesome info guys and great writeup on the SHSU game. Glad the Nicholson hire is already paying dividends. I assume you guys are ready for the regular season to start??? We need a solid season on the diamond that is injury-free!!!!

Question: What will the pitching rotation look like?

 

[TexasBaseballBlog]

We already have a few injuries to contend with - John Curtiss is out for the season and there are rumors regarding a few other players. The good news is that we have 3 1/2 months until the season starts, so hopefully those rumors will be just rumors at that point. We think Parker French and either Holden Helmink or Chad Hollingsworth will be weekend starters, and if no one steps up, Corey Knebel could slide in there as well. From what we saw at the first scrimmage though, we have a much deeper team this year, and hopefully Knebel can stay where he is most lethal - as a closer.

I really like the Freshmen arms this year. Duke, Culbreth, Helmink and Hollingsworth, very impressive...

Then add in Hinojosa at SS and that really stabilizes the defense!
