Posted July 22Jul 22 Administrator This is much more than I wanted to put in the usual Oregon Baseball thread, so let's get it going. First, we have not lost much leaving via the portal, but we did lose Cole Stokes and Santiago Garcia. Although Garcia was highly inconsistent...when he was on--he was tough and had four saves for us. Thus I believe his upside could have been realized by the new pitching coach, but alas...he left before the coach got here.But as for Stokes....I wish him well, but he lost his confidence in games way-too-often. Heck, he choked two game losses to Portland in 2024, and 2025, so I think we can do better than that.First of all--Oregon had some luck this time versus the MLB Draft, as usually our best HS players verballed to Oregon--get drafted high and sign with a professional team. But look below! Mr. FishDuck
