Our true freshman pitchers under Cohen/Thompson have been really bad for the most part. Only exceptions I can think of is Chris Stratton was decent his true freshman year (before he imploded in his SO year) and Holder became a very effective closer by the latter part of his true freshman year. Ross Mitchell did pretty well also but I can't remember if he redshirted or not. All others have been really bad. Why is that? McCord is a very highly recruited guy and I'm really surprised that his FR year is going to end up a waste.
