2020 Strikeouts (batting)

To achieve that ratio with the current SO total, they would have to be 990 innings into the season. Roughly 37 games in.

Wells is the strikeout king only he coaches hitting

Wells is learning a new hitting system.

It's hard to teach as you learn. Especially when what you were told to teach isn't producing. ... Yet.

I though Wells was brought in to implement his hitting system

So we have 3 hitting coaches to implement a new system and setting school records on Ks yet our 1 volunteer pitching coach has turned water into wine .... go figure might be too many cooks in the kitchen

The curse of Talbot.

The curse of Talbot.

Yup. Talbot is responsible for the talent on the field. The albatross is still around the neck of our team.

[Million$Mullet]

Don’t blame JT on here. Some people don’t wanna hear it.

BS. The entire coaching staff is responsible for the talent on the field. UL rarely gets a crack at can't miss prospects so they have to project who will be able to play at this level. The entire coaching staff was present when we had approximately 50 players competing during fall ball. I would assume Deggs had final say on who made the roster and who now plays in the games. Up to this point, every player and coach owns some responsibility for the putrid display of offense. Blaming a recruiting coordinator for hitting under .200 seems a bit lazy and does not fully address the problem at hand.

[Dad04]

Yeah. I doubt one person can responsible for this mess.

That RC is also on 3rd base ...I think it a combo of things Talbot recruting and Talbot vs Wells vs Deggs hitting strategy

I think it mostly has to do with the fact that there are just two kids on the entire team that have ever hit .300 in a full season of D1 baseball. Cantrelle .309 last year and Bourgeois .311 two years ago.

The returning players are the same guys who have struggled at the plate for a year or two or three. And the JUCO guys have never done anything at this level.

Will some of these guys eventually figure it out? Who knows? But until guys are able to hit fastballs right down the middle of the plate (if they even pull the trigger), things won’t get a whole lot better.
