Great interview and insight.

I’ll piggy back off some previous posts… Wake Forest has a pitching analytics staff (they call it the pitching lab) that consists of about 30 individuals. We will never have to resources to hire 30 assistants, but it seems we are trying to add some resources to the staff in the same capacity. I love this move.

30 people just for pitching analytics for a college baseball program? I’m sorry but college athletics has gotten silly.

The director is a Dr. of Biomechanics that is employed by Wake Forest Baptist hospital, and “the pitching lab” is a partnership with the university. Also, the lab isn’t exclusive to Wake Forest U players.

That said, according to their website, the staff is 7 people, with the team’s pitching coach, athletic trainer, strength and conditioning coach and team doctor being 4 of the 7.

So basically it’s 3 people that aren’t typically involved with any other team, and they are employees of the hospital.

Unbelievable what is found out when THE Facts come out as opposed to made up facts driven by agenda . . .

No need to attack MountainDew like that. What agenda?

You are witnessing how we learn things.

You could sit in a dark closet and never learn anything.

Or you can comment on known facts that prompt us to dig deeper.

In the end we are all more knowledgsble for the process.

Thanks sportsfanatic21. Good info.

I learned something.

It was just an accurate observation which is results oriented. It was in no way limited to any particular poster and surely not just one poster (and really sad that you would post identify a particular poster). . . Instruction is always good, learning makes for more effective posting . . .

They have 7 paid staff members plus 20 students. I watched a Wake Forest game earlier this season where they asked the coach about the lab and he used the # 30. Sorry you feel so misinformed…

Tom Walter has been the head coach at Wake Forest since 2010. Some will remember he ran the UNO program 2005-2009.

I had not heard the story about the kidney transplant until yesterday. I never had a real reason to pull for Wake Forest. I'm still ORU, but if they get eliminated today, Tom Walter has a fan the rest of the way.
