Butch had to try different things bc of the talent level. Dietrich won't do that. He is a more straight forward pitching coach. He was actually a pitcher himself! Butch was not!

I believe we will miss Butch more as a person and recruiter than pitching coach. His methods worked with some pitchers but not with a good number of others. And as has been stated, its rather frustrating that we seemed to never get anything out of freshman pitchers under Butch and, in fact, a lot of our best pitchers under him were really only good ONE year. Would just like to see a little more consistency where our guys are useful at least in the SO and JR years and it doesn't take "going to the Cape" to get their act together (like a Dakota Hudson). No doubt though that the new pitching coach is going to have much more raw talent at his disposal than what Butch had for most of his time here.

Wrong again. Butch was a pitcher. I know because I played with him.
He pitched in HS, JC and in college at B'ham Southern. Soft tossing lefty.

Sorry beat me to it.

Story I read he played football. Sorry dudes, your always right.

Nope, not always right but not always wrong either. He may have played
football but he was indeed a pitcher.

Grow up dude, you just got:

I know. Some people love to be negative toward others when they can't have what they want.
I will bet this. Dietrich will be a better pitching coach than Butch. Statistically speaking. If we have a sub 3.00 ERA in 2016 we are in Super/CWS.

Dude really?

Changing subject a little. I don't think recruiting has wavered since butch left. Ming is doing quite well. A few good players will be visiting this weekend.
I would expect the new coach to be announced tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

He left yesterday afternoon.
May be a bit too early to tell

We got a pitching commit yesterday. We have a big Texan visiting this weekend but he's not a pitcher. A couple of others will be visiting too.
Ming might be in Jupiter though. Butch mentioned Jupiter at Auburn yesterday so he might be down there too.

MSB might be the most unintentional comedy on ED. He might be the classic example of an "MSU baseball fan" as opposed to an actual baseball fan. Wonder if we'll hit 50 HRs this season?
It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

He provides some good insight on fall ball and recruiting so that piece of info
is usually pretty good info. Now, he's the ultimate eternal optimist but he does love MSU baseball.
