Cal needed to go all the way in the second annual Pac 12 tournament to have any chance at the NCAA Baseball Playoffs. Despite an early lead, the Golden Bears fell short ending their season.
Looking at the commits, Cal got 6 pitchers and 3 SS's from the high school ranks. Not knowing too much about them, the best of that bunch will likely get drafted this summer and never come to Cal.
Quinn Larson apparently has a mid 90's FB already, but also not that much hype to be mentioned as a high draft pick.
Just based on what has happened in the past (and also overlooked by me), the biggest impact guys are probably the freshman who were already on the roster. RHP Jack Kirrer got some experiences midweek, but only Turkington and Aivazian earned more regular weekend usage out of the freshmen group. There will also be more JuCo and 5th year guys coming in.
Anything on Ian May? If he’s back and healthy next year, he’s likely slotting back into the Friday started role. Def missed him this year after he went out.

I believe, Cal needed to win 4 in row for an automatic bid. However, there chances were eliminated with the loss to stanford. https://calbears.com/news/2023/5/25/baseball-bears-fall-to-cardinal-in-2023-finale.aspx
Welp, crap.
But well done Bears.
Seems like recruiting has been tough sledding especially recently on the pitching side. I hope we don't get decimated by the portal monster
