Freshman Class (9)

INF Kayden Lipscomb — No. 11 | 6’1”, 170 lbs
OF Henkel Acevedo — No. 13 | 6’4”, 217 lbs
1B CJ Alfano — No. 20 | 6’0”, 175 lbs

UTL Joshua Viars — No. 77 | 5’11”, 185 lbs

Not added: SS Juan Araujo

There is no update on Araujo as of now.

Player to watch: OF Henkel Acevedo

Acevedo has a chance to make an impact right away as a fourth outfielder and could even be in the mix to start, depending on how the fall and winter go. He has great bat-to-ball skill and gets his hands through the zone quickly. Once he adds more muscle and fills out his frame, he could become a true power threat for the Mountaineers.

Transfer Class (14)

OF Chase Ecker — No. 3 | 5’10”, 175 lbs
OF Jack Cannon — No. 6 | 6’3”, 215 lbs
UTL Colin Coonradt — No. 10 | 6’1”, 205 lbs
INF Ryan Piekutoski — No. 12 | 6’4”, no weight listed
RHP Zak Whitney — No. 15 | 6’3”, 195 lbs
C/OF Cash Williams — No. 16 | 6’1”, 201 lbs
RHP Austin Ziance — No. 18 | 6’0”, 200 lbs
LHP Robert Satin — No. 24 | 6’3”, 220 lbs
RHP Drew Becker — No. 29 | 6’2’, 200 lbs
RHP Korey Alston — No. 30 | 6’4”, 185 lbs
LHP Griffin Paige — No. 31 | 6’2”, 185 lbs
OF Seth Williams — No. 42 | 6’4”, 200 lbs
LHP Colton Hartman — No. 54 | 6’3”, 215 lbs
RHP Ryan Brown — No. 96 | 6’1”, 190 lbs

Player to watch: UTL Colin Coonradt

It's hard to just single out one player, but Coonradt is a difference maker in the middle of the lineup. This past season at Johnson County CC, he hit 37 home runs and recorded 109 while hitting .430. He also walked more times (61) than he struck out (46). Just mind-boggling production.
