June 6Jun 6 He ended the season strong at the plate and I was looking forward to seeing if he would take a step next year. Surprises me a bit
June 6Jun 6 the easiest place possible to upgrade hitting is outfield.  we should be trying to upgrade all 3 OF spots.  2 are a must upgrade. OF can always DH as well.

Biggest part of this is that we need power from the OF. Should be getting a minimum of 30 HRs a year from the OF but closer to 40 would be nice. Don't think we were anywhere close to that this year.

A member of the All-ACC Freshman team in 2024, Becker batted .362 with nine doubles, eight home runs and 46 RBI while appearing in 45 games with 39 starts (26 at third base and 13 at shortstop) for UVA. As a freshman, Becker had a fielding percentage of .925 with 10 errors. Becker's father, Jeff, was an infielder at Duke who spent some time in the Cleveland Guardians organization. Texas baseball last week received a commitment from Wichita State senior transfer infielder Josh Livingston, who played first base for the Shockers in 2025 while batting .284 with 15 home runs and 48 RBI. Livingston had a .990 fielding percentage with three errors last season. In two seasons at Wichita State, Livingston hit 26 home runs and proved to be one of the better power hitters in the American Athletic Conference. Livingston is the likely replacement for the Longhorns' departing senior first baseman Kimble Schuessler, who batted .312 with eight home runs and 45 RBI this past season with a fielding percentage of .994 (three errors).   Â
