Transfer from Penn.

Went to Bowie High in Austin.
 

He’s hitting .240 this year at Penn. There has to be a catch here. 

#754

The catch is he’s probably a walk-on.

a) why is he announcing his next destination in the middle of the season? Only reasons I can think of is the Ivy League does not do athletic scholarships or perhaps Penn doesn’t let guys stay for a covid year. If he’s not getting athletic money now then he probably isn’t at his next school.

b) he’s from Austin and from a scroll through twitter seems to be a diehard Texas fan.

Nice pickup for Texas baseball as they get a commitment from JUCO OF Casey Cummings. Cummings hit .387 with 17 homers and 24 stolen bases for Chabot College in California. He started his career at the University of San Diego. #HookEm https://t.co/FIbT0FHF6d

Outgoing - what's the story here?

 

After three years at Texas, Mitchell Daly will transfer to Kentucky. Daly has started at second base in the College World Series and he hit two postseason homers as UT’s shortstop this season. #HookEm

 

#763

I just haven’t been able to follow baseball recruiting and transfers like football and bball. How is Pierce doing so far in shoring up the roster?

Good start on pitching. Need to land some hitters. There's apparently an SHSU kid we have a good shot with.

Never was able to replicate his freshman season. Good kid and teammate but it was time for a change of scenery. Best of luck to him.

Yep, what Levi said. Two subpar/bad seasons at the plate and Daly isn't elite in any other tool category to offset the deficit in production on offense.

One of the basic rules of sports applied to his situation: if there is an equally productive younger player with more potential, you give that player more PT. We'll see where Flores ends up, but Daly was given two seasons to get it together and he didn't, unfortunately.

Too simplistic. I’m talking in general terms and not specific to Daly/Flores. With NIL, that should give pause to the younger guy because there is no guarantee that they’ll stay 3-4 years. The truth of the matter is equally productive will very rarely be the case because it is not only about the numbers. The veteran will more often do the little things that won’t show up on any stat sheet but that are important in the bigger picture. Not always but that’s a benefit of maturity that comes with experience.

Daly likely would have been a backup next year had he stuck around.  He’s not a good defensive SS and has not been able to hit the past two years.  He wanted a guaranteed starting spot, can’t blame him, for his final year of college baseball.  He’s an absolutely terrific teammate and person that I wish the best of luck to next year and in life.

Watching you stan for Daly has been tiring. You’re overthinking his value, and. not by a little. If he were adding as much intangible value as you think, Pierce wouldn’t have had the conversation with him that he had. The reality is that, as a starter, Daly was easily under replacement value.

Texas is also clearly after a middle infielder in the portal. And there are a lot of really good ones. Definitely upgrades over Daly.

TRANSFER NEWS: @Vol_Baseball sophomore RHP Chase Burns has officially entered the Transfer Portal, @d1baseball has learned. Burns struck out 114 in 72 innings for the #Vols this season. He’s the most high-profile player in the portal. https://t.co/eTepH8FGTd

Good move. It was a weird hiring from the start

The coaching/pitching side was good - top ten national ERA doesn't suck - but sounds like he was a recruiting non-entity.

Very bad recruite, DP tried to fire Rodriguez too..but got told to fuck off.....common denominator folks

#777

soooo, who told him he couldn't fire Rodriquez? I mean, if you're the head coach, why would you not be able to choose your asst coaches?

It was a term of the contract/buyout issue.

I know jack shit about baseball but how is Pierce such a chaos agent and yet the team has gone to Omaha 3x in 6 years and almost made it this year with what most thought was a down roster?

Coaching and managing people are too different things. You ever know a badass employee that got promoted to manager and sucked at that role? Happens all of the time. Pierce ain't that bad, but he's apparently a hard-driving guy and that takes a toll on the staff, especially pitching coaches.

I was debating the assertion that equally productive younger guys deserve the nod over older guys simply because they’re younger. That’s a different discussion if you’re talking a 30 year old dude on his last leg/younger guy as compared to a 19 year old/21 year old.


I have no doubt that Dalys move was based at least in part on discussions with Pierce. I’d speculate his mind was made up before that discussion. There should have been no guarantees of playing time for Daly. It also wouldn’t be surprising of discussions of more competition coming. So Daly chose and I’d assume Pierce was ok with that. Truth is there are better statistical options than Daly and Flores to be found. We’re hopeful Flores hits some of that potential, but there’s little proof there at this time.

According to a source, @TexasBaseball head coach David Pierce will be the team's pitching coach in 2024. Former UT volunteer coach and MLB all-star Troy Tulowitzki is also expected to also return to Texas as its director of player development.https://t.co/rb9JN4bv3J #HookEm

Also, the first two draft rounds were kind to us - nobody off the board yet.

#785

Sykora is likely gone - first pick of the third round.

Witt is probably staying - apparently turned down $2mm from the White Sox.

#786

We'll be saying goodbye to Campbell at that spot

DODGER DAWG. DC has been selected by the Los Angeles @Dodgers in the 4th round! #HookEm

 

#787

Probably but not definitely gone there:

Southside Geno. @lucas_gordon has been selected in the 6th round by the @whitesox! #HookEm

He's definitely gone. Anybody drafted in the top 10 rounds is almost certainly gone outside of very rare exceptions. 

#789

Huge

Gasparino, a 6-foot-6 outfielder from Harvard-Westlake in California, indicates he's heading to the 40 Acres. Gasparino was @MLBDraft's No. 75 prospect, one spot ahead of Tanner Witt. https://t.co/BnjoJYPM4B

 

#790
There goes that man. @TravisSthele has been selected by @Nationals in the 12th round! #HookEm

 

#792
NIGHTMARE 😈@MorehouseZane has been selected by the @CleGuardians in the 14th round! #HookEm

 

#793
G WAGON, G WAGON. @garretguill has been selected by the @astros!#HookEm

 

#794

Pierce has a lineup built for a deep Omaha run.

Final details will shake out very soon, but the ‘23 MLB Draft went about as well as it could have for the Texas Baseball program:* 3-4 KEY pieces are unexpectedly (at least to me) making it back to ATX* We only lost ONE HS recruit to the Draft* Troy Tulowitzki returns https://t.co/uwyKySabLQ

2024 OF/RHP from Spring:

One-time Oklahoma commitment is now a Texas commitment: Scott has some of the best RH power in the 2024 class and is coming off an excellent spring. Undoubtedly one of the top OFs in Texas. #HookEm https://t.co/Om7E4fg9vN
