Only Coog Major Leaguer to be on an Opening Day roster is Austin Pruitt. Once the minor leagues start, I’ll try to track down where all the other Coogs are playing.

Pruitt was a bit unlucky yesterday against the Yankess as he faced three batters and all of them reached with one eventually coming in. None of the hits were hard hit, but sometimes that’s just the way the baseball bounces. His ERA is currently infinity.
It’s May now so everyone is getting settled into their teams. Here’s where everyone is at and how they’re doing so far. I’m leaving Chase Jensen on here until the Low A teams start, but it looks like he may have retired.
As a reminder, some of these guys may not have finished as Coogs (Poncedeleon and Moore), but they were all Coogs at one point.

Poncedeleon was immediately tended to by trainers for both teams and was surrounded by concerned teammates as well as Caratini on the mound. Upon being lifted onto the cart, Poncedeleon was able to wave to the crowd before being taken to an ambulance beyond the fence in right field.
Ian Rice, C, Double-A Tennessee: The 29th-round pick in 2015 out of the University of Houston was attractive because of his high on-base percentage. In addition to a .425 on-base percentage, Rice hit four home runs during a nine-game span.
