The Hoosiers have developed a reputation in recent years—they hit the long ball and they score a bunch of runs. This was in part thanks to guys like Logan Sowers and Luke Miller who helped make up the heart of the lineup, bashing 37 and 24 career home runs respectively.
Sowers and Miller are gone now. Sowers is playing in the Chicago White Sox organization after getting drafted in the 28th round. Miller is playing in the Philadelphia Phillies organization after getting drafted in the 22nd round.
For a lot of programs losing two guys like that could lead to a slip in offensive production the following year, but Indiana’s situation could be quite the opposite.
