South Carolina baseball coach Mark Kingston addressed the media on Wednesday at the end of the Gamecocks’ fall practices, touching on a broad range of topics including recruiting, injuries and alums of the program winning the World Series.
But for many USC fans, it’s all about the 2019 version of the Gamecocks — after advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals in his first season thanks to a second-half surge, Kingston faces a tall order in replicating that feat for the upcoming season. He has to replace seven regular contributors to his lineup, all three of his weekend starters and some key spots in the bullpen too.
