The Southeastern 16 crew looks at the field of four in the Auburn Regional and gives our picks. Auburn rode great years from future MLB first-rounder Ike Irish and ace Sam Dutton, as well as tremendous freshman campaigns from Chris Rembert and Chase Fralick to the No 4 overall host, not to mention the usual steady year from Cooper McMurray. But Dutton faltered down the stretch as he far surpassed last year's inning total. Can an Auburn pitching staff of Cam Tilly, Carson Myers, Ryan Hetzler, Parker Carlson and others carry Auburn out of a tough regional (something coach Butch Thompson has done several times before)? North Carolina State, under coach Elliott Avent, has consistently performed well in the NCAA tournament. Josh Hogue and Brayden Fraasman provide the power for a team that strikes out just 15% of the time. Stetson didn't hit much--just 46 home runs this season--but ace Jonathan Gonzalez is one of the tournament's tougher lefty starters, and a bullpen duo of Ty VanDyke and Jake Gorelick tough. Can the Hatters pitch their way out of the regional? Central Connecticut is one of the weakest at-large teams in the field by the computers, but did post a .331/.437/.503 batting line as a team. Does any of that translate to the regional? It'll need Wyatt Cameron, Vincent Borghese and others to step up.

Southeastern 16's Graham Doty and Chris Lee speak with Auburn baseball coach Butch Thompson two weeks before the 2025 season. Topics include: Catcher Ike Irish is a potential first-round bat, and Thompson speaks to the defensive progress he's made this past offseason. First baseman Cooper McMurray is one of the SEC's most underrated players. A new-look lineup that includes transfers Eric Snow, Bristol Carter and Lucas Steele. The Tigers had one of their best recruiting classes in recent memory, adding coveted high-school talents like Chris Rembert, Chase Fralic, Christian Chatterton, Jackson Sanders, Connor Atwood and others. Auburn's rotation may be headlined by transfers Cade Fisher (Florida) and Sam Dutton (LSU). Closer Hayden Murphy had a lights-out summer in the Cape Cod League, perhaps making him one of the SEC's biggest sleepers for the 2025 season. The Tigers also have plenty of experienced bullpen depth with Dylan Watts, Carson Myers, Conner McBride, Parker Carlson, John Armstrong and Cam Tilly. Auburn added a useful back-end bullpen piece through the transfer portal in Mason Koch (Creighton), who has closing experience.

Chris Lee, Alfred Ezman and Graham Doty are joined by Georgia baseball play-by-play announcer Jeff Dantzler on this week's SEC Baseball Weekly. Topics include: Georgia's resurgence under first-year coach Wes Johnson in 2024, which included a run to the Athens super regional. The remarkable career of Charlie Condon, drafted third overall by the Rockies. Tre' Phelps is an up-and-coming star, and perhaps the Bulldogs' next first-round MLB Draft pick. Georgia will get pitcher Charlie Goldstein back for 2025, and hopefully the Bulldog lefty can stay healthy. The Bulldogs' lineup was deep a year ago in addition to the star power with Condon and Corey Collins. Several teams helped themselves with return of key players in Hunter Ensley (Tennessee), Hunter Elliott (Ole Miss), Ryan Prager (Texas A&M) and Will McEntyre (Arkansas). Tennessee helped itself in the transfer portal with Ole Miss's Liam Doyle and Andrew Fischer. Texas A&M added St. Mary's transfer Connor Harrison. Cade Fisher is transferring from Florida to Auburn, providing a huge boost for Butch Thompson's pitching staff. Nolan McCarthy transfers from Kentucky to Georgia. Starting pitcher Travis Smith heads from Kentucky to Mississippi State. Texas A&M catcher Max Kaufer heads from to South Carolina. The Frisco College Baseball Classic is set, with LSU as the headliner. The Round Rock Classic field will include Oklahoma.

Welcome to Episode 1 of SEC Baseball Weekly with Chris Lee, Alfred Ezman, and Graham Doty, an SEC baseball podcast that discusses the biggest storylines in the conference all year long. We'll cover the biggest/trending topics, featuring fun and interesting guest interviews, season predictions, player and team SEC trivia, and a wide range of various unique segments. Chris, Alfred, and Chase talk about what Texas and Oklahoma baseball joining the SEC means for them and the rest of the conference. A deep dive into the coaching carousel: Texas A&M's Jim Schlossnagle takes the Texas job while the Aggies replace him with Michael Earley. Texas supported Schlossnagle with a hire of hitting coach Troy Tulowitzki. South Carolina was able to draw Paul Maineri out of retirement to become the Gamecocks' new head coach. Vanderbit's Tim Corbin fires Mike Baxter, Tyler Shewmake, hires Jayson King and Ty Blankmeyer. And Ole Miss's Mike Bianco fired himself as pitching coach and hired Cleveland's pitching coordinator, Joel Magnum. The transfer portal has been mayhem, starting with Ole Miss's roster getting hit hard. Vanderbilt added Michigan State transfer pitcher Joseph Dzierwa, and a number of good hitters, including James Madison's Mike Mancini and Dayton's David Mendez as well as Georgetown pitcher Cody Bowker. Alabama adds LSU C Brady Neal, Miami 1B and more to come. Arkansas adds Ohio State LHP Landon Beidelschies, Zach Root and Kuhio Aloy. Florida adds Blake Cyr and Billy Barlow, but Cade Fisher and Michael Robertson are out. Tennessee's Robin Villenueve, Bradke Lohry, Derek Schaefer leaving. South Carolina adds Georgia pitcher Jarvis Evans. Tennessee and coach Tony Vitello have lost several players, but expect the Vols to be major players in the portal as always. Auburn and Butch Thompson add a number of players, highlighted by Samford's Lucas Steele. And what about Texas A&M and Jace LaViolette and the other Aggies' who've hit the portal? 0:00 Intro 3:27 What Texas & Oklahoma Bring To SEC Baseball 12:08 SEC Coaching Carousel 32:23 Transfer Portal News FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA Daily Newsletter: https://se14.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/14Southeastern Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/southeastern14_/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@secsports14 ADVERTISE WITH SOUTHEASTERN 14 Reach out to caroline.smith@southeastern14.com to find out how your product or service can be seen by over 150,000 unique viewers each month!
