Possibility of a Hitting Coach??
I know I regularly bash Cohen for our hitting woes, but I want to clarify. John, for the most part, knows in game hitting strategy: steal, hit and run, bunt, etc. But it's apparent our bunting, swings, and approaches are Apparently sub par. From what I've seen, head coaches controlling pitching are more effective than HC's controlling hitting. I'm talking more mechanics and small tweaking of swings. HC's don't have time for that, which is why I think we need a ULL type "hitting" coach. The ULL hitting coach obviously took A&M baseball to different heights, hitting wise, and now has ULL putting up great stats. I just wish we would fork out some cheese to bring in a guy who focuses on hitting only. I think we would have a shot at the SEC every year, given Cohens in game calls and Thompson's pitching calls. It's just frustrating for me as a baseball person, to see Wes Rea have anything less than 10 bombs on the year. All of our other position guys should have some type of power potential, be it just gap, extra base hit power. We have singles hitters who could easily be transformed into gap hitters, with a little instruction and work.
