After a relatively disappointing year last year not hosting a regional, and losing 2 major players for this year, what are your expectations for this season?
First, I expect the pitching to be excellent—both talented and deep. Not “Kumar and Jack as your top two” excellent, but still the best pitching staff in all of college baseball. There is not one pitcher I expect to get significant innings that I’m not really excited about. Heck, some that will just get a few innings due to the overall depth of the staff are pretty exciting, too.
As for the bats?
