South Carolina baseball has the potential to have one of the top lineups in college baseball next season. An excellent start to the 2023 season offensively faltered down the stretch, but next season’s Gamecock offense could be more complete.
Carolina is losing to graduation shortstop Braylen Wimmer and second baseman Will McGillis as everyday contributors and infielder Michael Braswell (who was pressed into duty as McGillis and Wimmer battled injuries) left via the transfer portal. Wimmer could return to school if he elected to use his “Covid redshirt,” but he is expected to keep his name in the 2023 MLB Draft.
