News: Texas A&M left handed pitcher Shane Sdao will miss the 2025 season after undergoing surgery to repair a ligament in his elbow that was injured in last year’s Super Regional against Oregon.

So starter wise, we have prager, lampkin, can anyone give me some more starters that we either gained or ones im forgetting

Grant Cunningham (UW transfer) was expected to transition to a rotation spot.

We got another LHP transfer from a smaller Cali school (SDSU?) that is expected to start.

We'll see if Moss or Morton (or any of the other Freshmen pitchers) can progress enough to be a weekend starter.

Get well soon

Salty has the stuff to start in my estimation...just needs to harness it and get in the flow

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Forgot about the transfers. The starter position is the only thing that worries me about this team.

grrr

Patton could be the guy.

So it was first diagnosed as a strain correct? Did he recently re-injure or was it missed diagnosed on first go around?

Stewart was practically unhitable by the end of the season. I'm pretty confident he'll be a decent closer next year.

Evan was often asked to do 3 innings on Friday and come back out for another on Sunday. I hope so. I expect we'll see 3 pitchers instead of 2 (Ryan to Evan) we consistently did last season. Getting Ryan back was huge.

Dang! Sad to hear this. But if it means a long successful career, time well spent. Pulling for you Smoke!

Morton has friday night starter potential from the right. Wilson has thst potential from the left. Patton (transfer) is supposed to be pretty similar to Prager, and expected to compete for a rotstion spot. Cunningham was a closer at UW, but afaik he was expected to move to a stsrtkng role there. Not sure the plan for him here. Freshcorn was a starter in JUCO. Preferably we need 1 of the right handers to take a starting role.
