SB Final: Louisiana 1, Tech 2

Well it ain't translating to the hitters overall.

The current five transfer hitters have 10 extra base hits in 250 at bats, only one of those is a homerun. For reference point Myhia Davis has 13 extra base hits in less than half of those at bats and she is a slapper. Our outfielders have zero homeruns. I am not going to do the research but the Cajuns are probably the only team in D1 with zero homeruns from the outfielders. If you want to talk about the returners only then you have to factor in that most athletes make the biggest jump from year one to year two under a position coach and that simply has not happen as only one veteran hitter across the board has improved. Everyone else is down. Every hitter that has left the program has also improved.

Give it some time and give the coaching staff a chance to recruit and bring in new talent. A ton of talent left this program via transfer portal and the late timing left the coaching staff in a very tough situation. I have faith Coach Habetz will turn things around starting next season and beyond. We just have to take our lumps this season.

My concern is not about the transfers. Clearly, the late timing of Glasco's departure left us in a bind in regard to that. My concern is that both Slugging % and BA have declined sharply for returning players. I do not have stats in hand, but I am certain that BARISP has also declined greatly for returning players. These statistics are very concerning, and the fact that they are virtually universal among returning players makes me think that it is a coaching issue more than a player issue.

Exactly.

For the record what I stated wasn't said by me, just what someone else stated. All of the hitters and pitchers that left the program has improved their batting averages and lower their era.

Glasco was the hitting coach for the players when they were at UL. Is he suddenly a better hitting coach now that he is at TT? Why couldn't he get his UL players to hit like they are now hitting at TT?

Someone mentioned newfangled pitching devices for batting practice.

Supposedly the new devices mix pitches up like in a real game.

I don't know if Glasco has them at TT

Shellie was the hitting coach last season.

Actually, he wasn't, but in any event, what his players are doing this year is not relevant to our issue.

In name only. Glasco was still master over the hitters. Fact!

That is not a fact. You may want to talk to folks that actually know. Glasco took a back seat to hitting and took more of an overall manager position with the addition of a third paid coach. Just ask him he will tell you that. Try to stay in your lane with baseball topics where you have a little clout.
