He should have been the consensus pick.
68 games vs 23 appearances. Some decided that the best freshman in the country was deserving of that award for playing in 1/3 of the seasons games
"He was a great player coming in, and if I’m being honest, he has exceeded my expectations.”
After helping @LSUbaseball win its eight national title, @DerekCuriel is the 2025 D1Baseball Freshman of the Year.
Let’s stop with the “I’m 100 percent committed to” posts moving forward.
A year from now you will post “thankful for time at….., but I’m entering the portal”
The idea that you can’t review a player missing home plate on a home run is ridiculous.
And the fact that the home plate umpire missed it is even more ridiculous. What other job do you have on a home run.
