Interesting commit following Griffin as both are catchers. I get 1 is JUCO and 1 is high school but still interesting....
2021 season
Hellstrom, senior
Griffin, junior
Dolney, sophomore
Wessell, freshmen
Caron, freshmen
Am I missing somone?
5 catchers on the roster for any given season is a lot. Unless they're gonna redshirt the frosh in 2021 which would make sense, mostly by creating some space between the players. Or, a message is being sent to someone.
Dolney has an absolute rocket. Very impressed with the tosses I've seen. He gets after it in the box too, but gotta admit it's limited swings I've seen.
Thanks for keeping up with this, i've been busy....Interesting commit following Griffin as both are catchers. I get 1 is JUCO and 1 is high school but still interesting....

Roskam was behind the plate a bit last year, but he's been more and more underwhelming lately. Maybe have him at 1B now with Gomes to starter (sorry was thinking 2020). I liked Dolney as a recruit, so we will see how that goes. How many catchers did A&M keep? Didn't Logan Foster do some catching early on at Southwest or A&M? THey had him listed there but maybe moved him?
You would know better than I, but sometimes the best players are catchers and can play other spots? They doing any of that here? How many catchers did A&M keep? Seems like a lot of money tied up at one position when you don't give full-rides.
Generally catchers at the college level tend to be your better athletes. They translate to corner infield and can usually man the corners in the outfield as well. With the DH rule that also can help contribute to the position.
