Projected openings by role, 2028
The clearest projected opening is at catcher (need 80 of 100, competition 99 of 100). 5 roles score 60 or higher for need. 12 transfers arrived in the last cycle.

Need, competition and confidence are 0 to 100. Need rises with the workload, production and depth that leave after the season and falls with the recruits already mapped to the role. Confidence under 50 means the public roster detail is thin; verify against the next official roster before treating it as an opening. Last cycle: Jarrell catching/power · Sharman 77 IP · LeGuernic/Veasey/Titsworth pitching.
