Auburn Regional: Scouting the Stetson Hatters
Auburn Regional: Scouting the Stetson Hatters The Stetson Hatters would present an intriguing matchup for the Tigers.
The Auburn Tigers will open up their regional on Friday evening against Central Connecticut State. A potential opponent for the Tigers beyond Friday is the Stetson Hatters from the ASUN Conference. Stetson holds a 40-20 record and won their division with a 24-6 record. Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast shared the conference championship after the final game being canceled due to weather. The Hatters were a solid team on the road this season, posting a 14-10 record away from home.
Stetson is coached by Steve Trimper who is in his ninth year with the team. Over that time he is 281-193, and the Hatters are making their third appearance in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. In 2018, they reached the NCAA Super Regional. They were eliminated by North Carolina in the Chapel Hill Super Regional.
Stetson is second in the ASUN in batting average at .280. Leading the way is infielder Isaiah Barkett with a .380 batting average that ranks third in the ASUN. He also scored 53 runs with 79 hits and 30 stolen bases. Leading the Hatters with homeruns is infielder Lorenzo Meola with 11. Outfielder Jordan Taylor leads the team with 16 doubles.
Stetson was the best team in pitching in the ASUN Conference. They led with a 4.17 ERA. The Hatters top pitcher is left hander Jonathan Gonzalez. He has a record of 9-2 through 14 starts. He is second in ERA (2.26) and first in strikeouts (101) in the ASUN. If the Tigers meet the Hatters on Saturday, it should not be assumed that they would face Gonzalez. Stetson will play NC State on Friday at 1 p.m. CT with the game being broadcast by ESPN+.

Hannah Coor, Kadey Lee McKay enter the transffer portal
Hannah Coor, Kadey Lee McKay enter the transffer portal The transfer portal has seen an influx of Oklahoma Sooners over the last few days. Catcher Corri Hicks entered the portal on Tuesday and was followed by outfielder Maya Bland on Wednesday. On Thursday, true freshman infielder Kadey Lee McKay and junior outfielder Hannah Coor reportedly entered the portal as well. McKay had just five at-bats for the Sooners in 2025. She was 1-for-5 with a run scored. The biggest loss to the portal thus far is arguably Coor, who was a regular part of the Oklahoma outfield. In 23 games, Coor hit .329 with two home runs, 15 RBIs, and 10 runs scored. She proved to be a strong defensive presence in centerfield. The Sooners are bringing back a significant part of their roster in 2025, including outfielders Kasidi Pickering and Abigale Dayton. There are high expectations for true freshman Tia Milloy to become a significant part of the Oklahoma lineup next year. The Sooners are also adding the No. 1 player in the 2025 recruiting class, outfielder Kai Minor, to the roster. The Sooners are also bringing in the No. 1 infielder in the class and No. 3 overall player, Lexi McDaniel. The Sooners will add talent in their 2025 recruiting class, but you can also expect the Sooners to be active in the transfer portal as well.
