MIF Christopher Worcester Eastern Illinois .320-2-29; OVC Freshman of the Year in '22, rangy fielder with twitchy actions, foot speed plays, swiped 10 bags, real bat to ball skills
MIF Nick Gooden Morehead State .332-4-33; ultra consistent performer in all facets, can play anywhere on the clay, spark plug type guy
3B Josh Ohl SIUE .314-9-39; real corner guy with range and plus arm strength, finds the barrel with hard impact, tough nosed run producer
OF Brett Graber Southeast Missouri .321-10-46; breakout performer in '22, foot speed plays, loose hands with easy loft and a lot of heavy impact, heart of the order type guy
OF Brennan Orf SIUE .357-13-46; real power with elite plate discipline, more walks than Ks, middle of field approach, just a very difficult matchup
OF Jevon Mason Southeast Missouri .317-14-44; surprise return based on monster '22 season, can do it all on the field, swiped 16 bags, slashing approach at plate with plenty of power

SP Kyle Miller  Southeast Missouri  3.35 ERA, 8-4, 6 SV, 45.2 IP, 47:14 K:BB, has pitched in a variety of roles, high spin low-90's FB seems invisible, to go with much improved secondaries

SP Jacob Bockenstedt SIUE 5.07 ERA, 5-8, 49.2 IP, 55:24 K:BB, experienced arm with FB up to 93, elite spin on true CB, primed for breakout
