    Losing James for the season was the final blow to being a top 15 team. We will get in the NCAA Tourney- but this team is young and has lost too many quality arms to surgery to make any real noise in 2017.

    Either Wes Johnson created some problems with delivery and regimen or we are doing something wrong in the weightroom.

    Dang, did we change the weight/condition Coach? Seems we have more arm injuries that I can remember.

    Brian Neal is still the strength coach- but I don't think he's the problem.

    IMO it's the same thing that is causing everyone else to have Tommy John surgery- too much pitching in travel ball, only focusing on baseball and not playing other sports in a few cases, etc.

    Neal has been the same guy- but we have changed programs three times in the past three years- two that affected the current class the most and I do think that may have had some impact to be honest. But I don't think there is just one cause.
