    This is a point a lot of us forget when looking at next season. Mac, Vansau, Mangum, Stvall, Skelton, LA... these are guys we saw last year, and yet NONE of them have improved at the plate. Several of them have regressed. That's too big of a coincidence- clearly Cann did nothing with them all offseason.

    So what that means is that these 4-5 Fr that are doing ok now, are doing ok with 0 coaching after high school. Get these guys in fall ball with a real staff, and we'll see a much larger jump than usual from them at the plate. Stovall too

    Mangum has improved. To be hitting as well as he is with really no help says a lot

    Either way, he won't be helping us next year. Stovall and Alexander certainly need to stay for a good senior year, they could certainly be much better next year

    We have a hitting coach. You guys trying to act like nobody works with the hitters is ridiculous.

    Serious question I meant to ask Saturday- Who is the hitting coach?

    Obviously we have a hitting coach, obviously Cann himself *technically* worked with the hitters. But the coaching clearly wasn't good. How else do you explain the stagnation or regression of literally every single returning hitter? Can you say you've ever seen a team that had 0 improvement from any hitter at the plate? I haven't. So sure, there was technical coaching, but it was clearly at a level well below the norm, else we'd be seeing a few players show signs of improvement
