When South Carolina’s baseball season begins on Feb. 16 against VMI, there will be a new set of eyes taking in and taking down all the action at Founders Park.
It’s going to be quite a shock to the system for a program that is so accustomed to one face and one system for so long, but the Gamecocks are going to have to soldier on without Andrew Kitick, who for 15 years served as USC’s director of communications for the baseball program.
That’s not the name Gamecocks fans were expecting to read there, but while Kitick’s departure might not be noticed by the fan base, it’s a symbol of a larger shift within South Carolina’s most successful athletics program.
