Andy Cannizaro will fill out his first lineup card as a head coach this Friday against Texas Tech. It’s not the easiest opponent to open up with, as Texas Tech made it to the College World Series in 2016, and most figure them to be one of the best outside TCU in the Big 12 in 2017.
How Cannizaro fills out that first lineup card will tell us a lot about the team and himself. It’ll be the first glimpse into how well he thinks all the players on the roster have performed, and it will also tell us the types of players he wants to give the most playing time.
