LF Dominic Longo / Nolan Geislinger / Jacob Olson
CF Jax Giminez / Tucker Jones
RF Isaiah Hearn /Jake Books
3B Carter Johnstone / Briggs Roe
SS Malosi Mata'afa-Alferos / Tyler Wick / Noah Figuered
2B Jake Evans / Kahanu Martinez
1B Adrian Lopez
C Brayden Jaksa / Ben Barrow / Cooper Barrow / Cole Chamberlain
DH JT Summers / Trenton Hertzog

OF feels pretty set with Jax Giminez starting. Then Longo, Jones, Hearn, and Books will probably be fighting for those other two spots.

Johnstone, Evans, and Lopez IMO are almost locks for starting in the infield. Shortstop will be a fun battle, cuz MMA, Martinez, Wick, and Roe are all capable of playing there. I feel like Roe or MMA will end up starting, but we'll see!

Catcher is solid at Jaksa. I also feel like Hertzog will get some time at infield (or DH??) just because we have a lot of guy sat catcher already.

DH will be the most interesting! Because Books, Roe, Summers all are starter quality guys, so I could see one of them sliding to DH. My guess right now is Summers because his bat is so dynamic.

Starting pitching feels a little more straightforward.

Gotta imagine Sanford and Bradley are our main two starters. Frey likely the 3rd? Brody Martin-Grudzielanek and Jonah Barkoff have some starter potential too.

I don’t see Bradley being a starter. He has amazing stuff, but that arm slot typically does not bode well for someone throwing a bunch of innings. I would think he will be a high leverage reliever/closer.

Ya could be but he showed recently he can pitch long stretches of innings. Kinda depends what he wants! If he wants to start and thinks that’s his best spot in the pros, I have a hard time seeing coaches say no to that.
