The problem with this team wasn’t hitting, it wasn’t pitching. It was fielding. Fielding at this level is a mental game, we lacked grinders and mentally tough players.
As a team we committed 73 errors. Cut that number in half and we win 40+ games.
Now, with that being said, JT is the lead recruiter. He has been and our problems have been consistent for 6 years.
I believe Deggs is the guy and will turn it around and find the right players, with the right mental toughness to turn it around.
This season was a step in the right direction, but a 12 game stretch in the middle of the season kinda did us in.
The mental mistakes throughout the season was infuriating. Up and down the roster we had boneheaded mental breakdowns.
Our pitcher who has three plus pitches couldn’t throw strikes and quit the team. We have another stud pitcher who has all the tools, but can’t throw strikes constantly. Then our most productive pitchers has a mental breakdown in the SBC tournament and just threw the ball to the dugout.
So it’s not just position players, it was across the roster.
We need more Drake Osborne’s and less Conner Angel’s.
