Tawa was the starting CF before moving to SS.
Robinson was indeed a top prospect
Brueser had a HR HS bat and will be at 1B I assume
Our top Frosh is a SS
With more detail ... Tawa started 2018 (frosh) as CF and then moved to 3B. In 2019 (soph) went from SS, to 3B when Kinamon came back, back to SS when Bellafronto came in and Dieter out. The current roster listing indicates he's now back to outfield whereas Brueser is moving the other way (though he'd also played 1B in 2018).
We have at least three frosh who were primarily SS in high school. I assume you mean Owen Cobb. Some publications had Gargus (1B) and Hinkelman (OF) higher. I'd be much more interested in how Esquer rates them - which perhaps is what you were referring to?
Stanford has a class of commitments for 2020. I hear it is quite strong. It includes the brothers Bruno - L and R handed pitchers (the lefty a very high prospect), the unfortunately named - but very talented - Tommy Troy, and Drew Bowser (SS) who may be the highest rated guy.
Perfect Game currently ranks the 2020 recruiting class as #14 in the country. But in baseball as in other sports, Stanford has small classes. Perfect Game also ranks Stanford as having the second highest average recruit rating (though that is very suspect given how many recruits they don't seem to have ratings for).

Does 2020 mean they are coming this fall as frosh or does it mean they are committing this year for 2021?

8. Gargus DH
9. Burton RF
*I think sooner rather than later you'll see Tawa move to CF, Robinson to left and Crampton take over at short. Probably will push Burton out.
Pitching
Beck
Palisch
Parthsarathy
Williams will be the mid-week guy
Jensen the closer with Grech the setup.
I don't know a few of those guys mentioned in the lineup, but as for pitching, I like Williams as the #2 starter, much more stuff than Palisch.
