It has become blatantly obvious that we can not develop hitters on a consistent basis. The last improved hitters that were recruited here as freshman that improved year over were Foscue and then TA and Rowdy. So many more have just plateaued after there freshman year. Hines and Dakota Jordan are prime examples. Our best hitters the last three years have all been portal pickups that were already developed.
Trout is a D-2 player that has gotten better and still hits a decent rate
Downs keeps getting better after hitting .300 last year which was way better than his Soph year
Cupp has improved alot
Stevens looks alot better than last year
Hugesak was much better in Y2 at State than Y1
I could go on but I dont have to
Ah. The MSU tradition of bitching about hitting on a day where we score five runs and the starting pitcher completely falls apart.**
Actually it's the message board tradition of bitching about every coach we have and speculating about who would be the better hire.Quote:
