The first post of the new year highlighted Max Alba.  Today we fill focus on 2 more additions from the Clemson Tigers of the ACC.  The first is a name that NFL fans will recognize in Bo Majkowski  (son of Don Majkowski) who is an outfielder that is expected to have 1 year of eligibility left.  2019 was his best season in which Majkowski who is a LH batter hit .248 in 109 AB's with a .399 OBP and was 8 of 9 in stolen base attempts.  Majkowski is known as a plus defender that could factor in the RF mix with the hole vacated by the departure of Brandon Rohrer and Jake Wilson.  As we've come to know defense and speed is infinitely important at Liberty Baseball Stadium where the wind is almost always blowing out to right and there is quite a bit of ground to cover.  Majkowski can be a key cog in the lineup as well if he can replicate that .399 OBP.  


The second Clemson transfer is Brett Percival who is a 6'4 RH from the class of 2019 that was ranked as the 26th best player in the state of SC that year.  Velocity wise he sits in the 89-93 mph range.  He didn't record any stats while at Clemson but will have a shot to compete for innings in the bullpen.  The Flames have had a number of quality options in the pen the last few years but you can never have enough pitching.  Percival will have multiple years of eligibility left.

Who's In & Who's out

  When a coaching change takes place in 2024 in any sport there's going to be all kinds of roster movement.  Ian Mccaw moved about as quickly as he possibly could to make a new head coach hire in Bradley LeCroy but that didn't stop a good portion of the top returning production from entering the portal.  The Flames faired fairly well in keeping their incoming commitments together other than their top HS signee Sawyer Black.  Coach LeCroy continues to work to finalize his coaching staff and the roster and we're just a little over 3 weeks away from the start of classes.  There's always the potential for some of those that have entered the portal but have not yet committed or found a home to their liking to return.  Here's a look at below on where things stand as of late Sunday evening. Portal - Entered Todd Hudson - Hudson entered the portal and committed to Miami even before Scott Jackson had resigned Brayden Horton - Horton entered the portal after the chan...

2024 Transfers & Signings

  We're now a few weeks removed from the end of the 24 baseball season that saw the Flames go 24-34 including 11-13 in CUSA play and 2-2 in the CUSA tournament.  It's time to turn the page to see who is coming and going for the 25 version of the Flames.   First, we start with those that are in the portal. Todd Hudson - Hudson is by far the most impactful player lost in the portal.  Hudson showed flashes on the mound the last 2 years but was inconsistent.  He did however make a quite big impact in the lineup as the DH as he hit .284 with 11 HR's and 40 RBI's and .975 OPS.  He was pretty much locked into the DH spot.  Hudson has transferred to the Miami Hurricanes.   Brian Mclellin - Mclellin was a JUCO transfer that played quite a bit in the first half of the season at 1B where he played excellent defense.  His bat faded as the season wore on as he ended at .246 with 6 HR's and 24 RBI's.  He was a solid depth piece for the Fla...

  The weather has turned a bit and Opening week is here.  Liberty Baseball has been ready to turn the page for quite a while on what proved to be one of the more disappointing seasons in 2023 in the programs history.  Very little went right in 2023 other than the development of a young core that the Flames could build around along with a handful of veterans.  The offseason also saw quite a few changes including the departure of both assistant coaches in Tyler Cannon and Matt Williams.  However,  as usual the Flames reloaded with Tyler Robinson from Campbell and former Flames SS Matt Williams who had spent the last several years as a scout following a successful MILB career with the St. Louis Cardinals.  Head Coach Scott Jackson moved quickly to get his top target in each situation.  Robinson's name has really exploded onto the seen with the development of power arms like Cade Kuehler and Thomas Harrington among others.  Williams had been a sl...
