Mid 80's fastballs can be hit out by average high school players. Especially when they're right down the middle of the plate..
Has to be about his focus or his unwillingness to trust his stuff
I still watch, but I get the sentiment. I will not be upset when this season concludes.
Nice observation. I don't think Mac and Miller could've asked for a better time and place.
After the Sunday loss to Clemson, I tried to quit this UL baseball season but could not stay away. This team has some talent, and some exceptional freshman.
What is so disappointing is the lack of control exhibited by our pitching rotation. Again, velocity in the low 80s or in the high 90s is not the problem …….it location. These kids are simply ill-prepared period, and Williams does not appear to have a clue as to where they are before they get to the mound. Campbell performance last night serves as a perfect example of a staff being completely unaware of where the pitcher coming out of the bullpen is in terms of being ready to execute.
Over the weekend we saw 97 mph heaters being delivered waste high in the center of the plate; tailor made for HRs. We also saw some mid 80 mph change ups dropping in on the corners for called strikes …..location, location, location!
