Coach John Szefc took over a struggling program in a premium league (ACC Baseball is like ACC Basketball) with a scattering of solid players but with a non-existant bull pen and an invisible starting pitching rotation. The past several seasons have been disappointing, and Whit Babcock, being an old baseball player himself (for the JMU Dukes) decided that Virginia Tech deserved to have a really quality baseball program with a first rate facility and a championship quality coach. His first move, last season, was to get the Ball Park straightend out. No one ever wrote home to Mom to extol the virtues and magnificence of old English Field.
