TOP 2021 and 2022 PROSPECTS:
+2021 Austin Hillis P/3B, SOPH, 5'10, 150lbs, R/R, Played some third base as a freshman last season and is preseason #1 on the depth chart at third this year. Sound fundamentals and offensive production sets him apart from most.
+2021 Jackson Regan P/UT, 6'0, 145lbs, R/R, Jackson can play anywhere and pretty much has in his career. A guy that can pinch hit in any situation, or potentially fill a starting role in the outfield.
+2021 Jackson Lindsey P/MIF, 5'11, 165lbs, R/R, Power arm that gives us added depth on the mound. Swings the bat well with good power.

+2021 Reed Gautreaux P/OF, SOPH, 6'2, 170lbs, R/R, Very strong for his age. Explosive bat, and live arm. 3
