Pos.	Player	School	Stats/Notes
C	Miguel Useche	UNO	Put up an absolute monster fall batting .480, easy to project double digit homers
1B	Edgar Alvarez	Nicholls St.	Plus defender with real juice from the left side. Batted .300 with 9 bombs in 2022
MIF	Kasten Furr	UNO	Prototypical middle infield type, finds a bunch of barrel with premium defense
MIF	Brad Burckel	McNeese St.	The Burkel/Harden combo is going to be tough to contain for the whole conference
MIF	Alec Carr	UIW	Coming off an All-Conference season. Expect double digit home runs, swipes and a .300+ batting average
3B	Shea Thomas	SE-Louisiana	Will bat clean-up in 2023. Could easily bat over .300 with double digit jacks.

UTL	Tyler Finke	SE-Louisiana	Elite low 6's runner that will swipe a ton of bags and play an elite CF. Top of the order table setter

SP	Zach Garcia	TAMU-CC	Posted a 3.82 in 67.2 innings pitched with a team low batting average against.
SP	Grant Rogers	McNeese St	Reigning Pitcher of the Year. Monstrous 6'7 frame with the stuff to match. Big time competitor
