| Alec Rash |
♦ Freshman RHP
Alec Rash, Adel, Iowa

- The Tigers have delayed putting Rash on the mound in fall practice, giving him a chance to rest his arm after the Iowa prep baseball season, which continued well into the summer.
- Rash has a lot of expectations riding on his shoulders, as the highest drafted recruit to play for MU in a long time. His rolle - starter or closer - will be determined by how quickly he develops and adapts to D-1 college ball.
