In 57 games this season for Barton Community College he's batting .407 w/ 11 HR, 63 RBI, 78 runs scored, and 8 stolen bases.

His plan is to enroll at UGA in July as his team is gearing up for the NJCAA College World Series.

Would it be possible for you to do a complete rundown of who we signed in baseball?

AFD, this seems like a small class to me. Is it?

Yes, but w/ only 5 departing seniors (i.e., Chase Adkins, Blake Cairnes, Trey Logan, Keegan McGovern, and Mitchell Webb) perhaps Stricklin wants to limit the # of players he "processes" after this season. Btw, the NCAA caps baseball rosters at 35 players w/ a maximum of 27 players dividing the allotted 11.7 scholarships.

UGA Baseball Signing Classes the past decade:

2019: 8
2018: 9
2017: 14
2016: 12
2015: 12
2014: 8
2013: 18 - note: HC David Perno fired on 20 May and replaced by Scott Stricklin on 3 June
2012: 20
2011: 14

So class sizes have been fairly small under Stricklin. How does this compare to other SEC teams I wonder?
