We are entering a new era of Cincinnati Bearcats baseball. After Ty Neal abruptly stepped down as head coach and Scott Googins was hired away from Xavier, the program is headed in a different direction than it was just a few weeks ago.
Slow progress had been the theme during the Neal era. This past season, the Bearcats came very close to reaching 30 wins. For a lot of programs that might not be much of a milestone, but we’re talking about a team that won 30 games only twice in the previous 10 seasons.
