I say we grab an infielder (3rd baseman preferred), an outfielder or two, and 2-3 pitchers. Of course, if Paul Skenes or that guy from NC State want to come here, they’d obviously be welcome.
People have their own philosophies, but I prefer the guys with the really high batting averages—even over power, fielding, and speed. Others may feel otherwise.
For college pitchers (and pitchers at all levels of baseball below the MLB) I personally prefer the smart, good control guys who can paint the corners consistently and can work in a well disguised changeup—even over the 95+ mph heat throwers, or the wicked-drop slider/curveball guys. Give me a staff full of Lucas Gordons. We won’t shut people out, but teams may only average around 3 runs per game against us and we’d have the lowest team ERA in the league. For the college game—give me Tom Glavine over Randy Johnson. (Some knowledgeable people will tell me to put down the crack pipe, but many others, equally knowledgeable, will agree).
