Like with any sport, you have to have a combination of good talent along with good coaching. Rarely can a team in any sport succeed with just one. I'm excited to see what next year holds.
I was happy to see a forward movement in our offense. Hopefully its not a fluke and we can keep it going with better pitching and discipline infield play. Mistakes around the infield haunted us all year. We have not hit the ball this well in a long time so hopefully JJ strength will be to keep us slugging it because it is fun to watch.
Help is on the way for next years pitching rotation. https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_4923a974-e9d4-11ec-9bf6-f70bffd3d12d.html
This sucks! We lose our pitching coach (taking HC position @ U of Washington). https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_665bcfae-ecda-11ec-9035-1bcd9dd6bcd8.html This follows loosing the baseball recruiting coordinator/infield coach on Wed (taking HC position @ Kansas). https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_279b87ee-ecd7-11ec-bf9d-0f215c3f727f.html
We had only 1 true starting pitcher. That wasn’t on the pitching coach. The cupboard was bare. Blame Mainieri.
