To put things lightly, last season was rough. Last season’s team held much promise before falling flat pretty much as soon as conference play opened up. It wasn’t all bad; mostly, it was the pitching staff that cost Tech games. The Yellow Jackets had just about no consistent pitching on the team, and that kept them from being in a lot of games.
There were good parts to the season, though. The Yellow Jackets’ lineup featured three hitters above .300 and three more hitters with at least 10 home runs. One of these bright spots was true freshman Austin Wilhite, who stepped in at shortstop for the Jackets.
