Transfer Tracker

Posted: 8/7/2025 11:00:48 AM

Disclaimer this info was pieced together and could be wrong / outdated. I also am certain that I am missing guys on both sides of the ledger.

Outgoing Transfers:

Ben Slanker (OF) - Louisville
Matt Ineich (SS) - West Virginia
Nick Dolan (SS/3B) - Illinois
JR Nelson (SS) - Illinois
Pauly Mancino (OF) - Bowling Green
Trae Cassidy (C/1B/3B) - Memphis
Jackson Cauthron (C) - Eastern KY
Caleb Karll (OF) - Montevallo
Blake Gaskey (SP) - Northern Ill
Zach Weber (SP) - Ohio State
Jack Geiser (RP) - Miami OH (F this guy)
Jimmy Cerha (RP) - St John's
Dylan Eggl (RP) - TBD
Trey Barkman (RP) - NW OKlahoma St

Incoming Transfers:

Patrick Sullivan (C) - Mercyhurst
Tyler Stack (C) - Xavier
Aidan Cook (P) - Xavier
Cameron Boyd (OF) - Southern Indiana
Taylor Harris (OF) - Walters State
Chase Keen (P) - Northern KY
Hayden Blosser (P) - Ohio State
AJ Dallmayer (P) - Lake Erie College
Colin Neimeister (P) - Lake Erie College

About the only regular returning is Cam Bryant, who played about 2/3rd of the games. There is also Drew Cox and Dyland Shepherd who had about 60 ABs each who are returning. Pitching only returns a spattering of guys that were part of a historically bad bullpen.

Truly a clean slate for coach See. When following a 14-37 season, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. But there are several good bats departing. We knew Slanker was too good to keep. I'm most disappointed that Ineich did not stay another year and try to really elevate his profile before making the jump.

As for what is coming in, who knows...but I am not seeing anything earth shattering yet.

You should have never come to Athens if you transfer to Fiami. He joins Punkameyer as the poster boy clown towns.

Thanks for putting this together, although, it hurts to look at. Gonna be a tough first season under See but he's a good recruiter and knows the Midwest very well. I feel good about the hire and trust he can turn this thing around quickly.

Checking in on the departed...

Bem Slanker at Louisville - Surprisingly has only started about half the games. Has a 1.003 OPS and doing just fine with the chances he gets. I have to think with conference play he will be a more regular starter. This is an extremely important Junior season for Slanker who has MLB draft hopes.

Matt Ineich at WVU - As we saw against us, Matt is doing really well leading off holding a .382 BA and .478 OBP. Basically the same numbers he had his freshman year with us. I am sure he is trying to develop some power to be considered an MLB option.

JR Nelson at Illinois - Has been given a fair shot to be a regular, starting most games, and the results have been a nightmare. Batting .033 (1 for 30) on the season.

Pauly Mancino at BG - Regular starter but struggling with a .614 OPS.

Trae Cassidy at Memphis - Regular starter but struggling with a .578 OPS.

Jackson Cauthron at Eastern Ky - Regular starter but struggling with a .555 OPS.

Blake Gaskey at NIU - Reliever struggling with a 7.50 ERA.

Zach Weber at OSU - Seldom used reliever struggling with a 10.12 ERA.

Jack Geiser at Miami - Started a couple games, struggled to a 10.80 ERA and also reports are he is much more douchey than he was before.

So our 2 best are doing well while everyone else is getting chances but struggling for the most part, with a long way to go obviously.

Footnote I see I put Matt Dolan as heading to Illinois, I am not sure where that came from and may have been a typo with Nelson. It looks like Dolan just hung em up early.

Thanks for the update, appreciated. Obviously the top two hurt us the most, however, they were both probably gone regardless of how last season ended and coaching changes. Any year we get a guy to hit 20 bombs, the ACC/Big10 is gonna come knocking.

The others, maybe addition by subtraction? We seem to be scoring some runs but its the pitching that has been the biggest weakness, feels like we say this every year. Those numbers don't exactly have me sitting here wishing we had those guys back and many are in similar situations as they would be in with Ohio.
