About this episode

The episode discusses top transfer hitters in college baseball and their potential impact at new programs.

On this episode of the D1 Daily, Burkie and Roons continue their top transfer hitters discussion by evaluating several impact bats in the D1Baseball Top 10 Transfer Rankings and how their underlying data might translate at new programs. They discuss Jamie Laskofski’s move from William & Mary to North Carolina, noting strong barrel and contact indicators with potential power growth for a shortstop. They break down catcher Nate Savoie’s transfer to Texas A&M, highlighting elite exit velocities, high barrel rate, and prolific home run production. The show also covers Mikey Bell (Gonzaga to Georgia) as a doubles-heavy extra-base threat who could add homers in a better park, plus Washington’s Jackson Hotchkiss heading to Arizona State with top-tier hard-hit metrics despite an uneven year-to-year profile. They close on Travis Sanders (Baylor to Tennessee) as a productive hitter with swing-and-miss and ground-ball concerns, and Jake Hanley (Indiana to Georgia) as a physical left-handed bat with plate discipline and upside for a power jump. 00:00 Welcome Back! 00:03 Thank You AstroTurf! 00:35 Top Transfer Hitters: Part II 00:59 Jamie Laskofski: W&M to North Carolina 03:12…
