Softball Offseason

[MarlinMan3]

That means there are 3 great high school players getting pushed aside who will be available.

Recruiting has never been easier

If they already signed, school should not be allowed to do that, sad. Not sure how that grows the sport

[MarlinMan3]

Why schedule more super regional games, game 1s on friday than thursday?
Start more on thursday, give fans more chamces to watxh more games thab having them all at same times. Do they still want to grow the sport?

Poor coaching from the hitting coach.

Should they be replaced?

Can someone show the statistical differences before and after the current hitting coach including the GG and ML years? It feels like we haven't hit for extra bases, homeruns, slugging, etc. like the top P4 teams for many years. Are we not getting the same type of recruits?

Do you really want the answer? Unfortunately, stats do not lie. Online, the records go back to the year 2000. Over those 25 years, the 2025 team hit the fewest home runs, the fewest doubles, had the lowest number of hits, the lowest number of runs scored, had the lowest number of total bases and had the lowest slugging percentage. They did, however, not finish last in batting average, one team finished lower.

So, take it for what it's worth. The big question is, if the majority of the players that were on this year's team are on the team next year, how much will their performance at the plate improve?

Depends on who is coaching them.

When it comes to coaching matters... coaching matters.

I don’t think you can coach slappers to hit home runs. And we had a bunch of em this year and we are only loosing one so same o same o next year. I’m really disappointed in the lack of personnel changes…let’s face it, this was our worst team since the 90s and maybe longer. I don’t know anything about the incoming freshman nor who recruited them. But I do know that One of the reasons that Glasco left was he did not have the NIL money to get talented players to even visit here. Let’s hope we haven’t missed on any of the incoming freshmen because only signing 3 transfers is not enough…

Davis has hit 5 homeruns this season as a slapper. The team overall couldn't hit many homeruns or extra base hits. We are losing two slapper type hitters. Glasco and his staff recruited the incoming players. How do you know the Cajuns will only sign three?
