But did you step foot on the mound?? Kind of a moot point there.

Fact of the matter is this, there is a MAJOR step up from HS to SEC ball, there will be a wall or hurdle every player has to get over to be successful in baseball with changing levels. There are exceptions but those are rare. The sooner you get guys on that field to get them to see that hurdle, the sooner they are over it and on the upside swing. If they aren’t that is what the transfer portal is for. You either GROW UP quick or you get out.

Whatever the reason for them being on the field does not change the fact they were on the field to realize they need to grow. They either will adjust and grow up or they will move on. This is not a bad situation to be in as a State fan. This year they saw the difference. They either make the jump or they don’t. Next year will be better or there will be massive personnel turnover in 25.
