I may be totally naive but I've not been the biggest Foxhall fan either. Agree with a lot of points we've made and the thing to me is that a lot of our staff is the same guy. Cohen seemed to always have a variety of guys on staff. Sider armers, sinker guys, etc. Sure the K's are nice but now when we aren't striking guys out they seem to either walk or hit the ball pretty hard somewhere. We don't have a lot of guys that induce consistent weak contact.
No idea if that's intentional by the coaching staff or not, but the nature of the college beast is that it's hard to consistently have a staff of elite arms. We seem to value velo way more than guys that show they know how to pitch and it bit us this year.
Whatever reason, even without injuries this wasn't a great staff as a lot of guys have not developed into reliable upper end arms.
We've done the same thing on the hitting side in regards to our focus on power over contact and batting eye.
