If we have learned anything from John Cohen since he took over the Mississippi State baseball head coaching duties, it’s he doesn’t mind tinkering around with the lineup. He will likely do the same thing with this season’s team as well, but when opening day comes, I think we can have a pretty good idea of what the lineup might look like. Here is my prediction for who ends up as the starter for each position
- Catcher – Elih Marrero
- First Base – Nathaniel Lowe
- Second Base – John Holland
- Shortstop – Ryan Gridley
- Third Base – Gavin Collins
- Left Field – Cody Brown
- Center Field – Jacob Robson
- Right Field – Reid Humphreys
- Designated Hitter – Brent Rooker
The caveat to all of this is John Cohen likes to platoon when he sees the opportunity.
