Yeah I would imagine you don't see Stewart have as many longer appearances as Aschenbeck had, but still fits fills that same role as that go-to guy late in the game.

I'm optimistic we will have more depth along our bullpen that we don't have to purely rely on the same few arms in conference games. That way we can spread out the uses of Stewart and Bollinger more.

He's come a long way from when he first got here. Great kid and great Aggie parents.

His last 4 appearances which were in Omaha, he went 2.1, 2.0, 2.1, 2.1 IP. The reason he was limited in the season was because we had the stopper of the year to come in behind him via Aschenbeck. No one here knows what he will be in 2026, but we didn't know what Aschenbeck could be until the 2am Texas Tech game and arms were running low.

And to think Schloss was thinking about cutting Aschenbeck....

1. Kiel CF
2. Sorrell RF
3. Grahovac 3B
4. Hacopian SS
5. Duer LF
6. Binderup 1B
7. Harrison C
8. Royo 2B
9. Farr DH

I think we promised Hacopian SS and he's going to have to lose it before we move him off of it. I also don't see us moving Grahovac anywhere but maybe LF. I think Jordan may win LF, but I think Earley really likes Farr. I think Partida is a starter by the end of the year, but starts on the bench. With Keller and Partida on the bench, Royo and Binderup will need to work their tails off in the hitting department. Could also see Chestnut in LF or second depending on practice results.

SP1: Sdao
SP2: Moss
SP3: Bailey

Lyons has talent if one of the others is better in the pen.

SU: Cunningham
SU: Freshcorn
CL: Stewart
Bullpen guy guesses to breakthrough: Bond and Powell

Just feels like we always have a JUCO guy that steps up.

Random Freshman with playing time: Vincent (idk just a guess)

Did Cunningham have success at Tread Athletics this summer? He had a dead arm last year.

Yes, he had a great summer at Tread and is locked in on earning a significant role in the rotation. Saw him this weekend and he looks like he could play DE for the FB team. Beast. I predict good things are in store for Grant this season and hope it works out for him. He's an amazing kid and teammate who loves being an Aggie.

Good news! I hope he can contribute and we love it when the players like it here.
