Who leaves? Who stays? Who comes?

I know the CWS thread has info about who is leaving but I thought I might start a new thread to keep up with our baseball team. It is so hard to follow as roster changes are not as widely reported for baseball as for football and basketball. I saw that we have evidently already picked up a pitcher from an Ivy League school. Tom Chmielewski from Princeton. Looks like lefty potential starting pitcher. Hope others will add info as players make decisions. Does anyone know what high school recruits we already have?

Chmielewski went 6-6 with 3.40 ERA.. First Team All IVY and 3 time pitcher of week struck out 73 while only allowing 19 walks!!!

Could be an option to replace Sprague depending on Pence and Boaz availability or could be used as a leftie out of pen if Pence moves to starter or gets drafted

Ranked #31 class by PG and I’ve not seen any of the top guys in class mentioned high in draft which could be a bonus…
Class rankings for baseball are hard to judge at this point because of the rules for going straight to the pros. We could take a decent jump up depending on who goes straight to the pros for other teams. Or maybe even drop if we have some unexpected recruits go. One good thing about baseball is you have them locked in for 3 years, so if it's a good class then you are rewarded for multiple years.

I stand corrected as I’ve stated Sprague would need to be replaced but looking at the roster he was actually only a junior!!!
 
Osuna(who has no more D1 eligibility) and Ryker Galaska only 2 players that are in the transfer portal from article on Tarheel Tribune
 
I'm just going to put this here instead of starting a new thread since it's kinda related. I think #12 is pretty fair to start the year. This should be at least a super regional team if everyone stays healthy.

 
The CWS run was outstanding entertainment this year.
Another one next year wouldn't surprise me. I know people kinda focus on some of the big names that we lost, but there is still a lot of talent left. The pitching staff is still really good and there's plenty left on offense. I think if Forbes can find another bat in the portal then we can be right there again as long as we stay healthy.
