and getting a real eyeful of what we're up against talent-wise. We bring in 6'0" to 6'4" pitchers throwing mostly mid 80's to lower 90's and these 2 teams bring in 6'5", 6'6", 6'8" hurlers throwing mid 90's to 101/103 and so forth.

Give me a handful of guys that can throw a ton of ground balls and a bad @SS closer.

I'm not sure Kade is even 6 foot and 175. Makes the most though out of his tiny frame. Gotta give him that

Were you born stupid, or did you have to work at being a biatch?

Exactly. One of the greatest and most unique pitchers who overcame some shortcomings. Don't forget about Drew Brees in football. We just need to make sure we get those unique, amazing one-of-a-kind guys. Well, you do have to coach them up. We had the next Drew Brees in Henig but coaching was the problem. We don't need to notice what winning teams, especially those that regularly make super regionals and CWS, do and who they sign.

Give the man a chance to put his FIRST team together after 22 years at another school He needs a little time to acclimate. He's only been on the job 3 weeks. He has the next 2 months to put a team together from the 1000+ portal entrants. We're already better with a new staff in place. Patience people.

I've some good State teams lose to pitchers who didn't throw a single pitch over 85 mph. Those guys seem to have a way to get inside a team's head and frustrate the hell out of them.

I love when people use this example, as if it's anything BUT an extreme outlier. Especially in today's game.

To deny the effects of pitching velocity is just being a damned idiot.

@leeinator has to make up all those years spent on Swan Lake, so he's being overly negative. Got to cut him some slack.

But he's not wrong either.

We had a first round and second round Friday and Saturday guy last year. We have plenty of guys that throw mid to high 90s. But that’s still overblown. Kids have caught up to velo.

That's true but you dont have to be Randy Johnson to get outs. Ground balls get outs too if you have a good infield. Maddox was an amazing pitcher, Glavine and Smoltz weren't bad either

Kendall Graveman was a great example of a ground ball pitcher. But guess what - he could gas 90+.

i'm not against velocity, i'm against velocity being the only criteria. must have command of all your pitches and be able to put them exactly where you intend for them to go.
