What Auburn baseball coach Butch Thompson said to start fall ball

Auburn's fall ball season starts today. The team lost eight players to the MLB Draft and three starting pitchers to MLB. They have a daunting schedule, including non-conference games with Georgia Tech, Indiana and Southern California. Six of Auburn's SEC opponents in 2023 made the NCAA Tournament's Field of 64. They also have three teams that joined them in Omaha: Texas A&M, Arkansas and Ole Miss. Coach Butch Thompson is excited about the potential mix in the outfield. He also likes the catcher Nate LaRue, the 2B to SS transition and Kason Howell.

Butch Thompson is the baseball coach at Auburn.
