Hi all I'm new to program, son incoming freshman, and looking about opinions on this years team. Son was recruited by last staff and sorry to see them go but like what we see out of Coach Vitello and staff.
Welcome to the board!
We have some known commodities at pitching, with Lingo, Stallings, Warren and Neely. We'll have to replace Hunter Martin and closer Lipinski.
Where we really need to find some folks is hitting. In SEC only games, only 4 guys were at or above .250. JRog at .277, Derkay at .253, Andre at .252 and Luc at .250
It drops off steep after that.
As as a team in SEC games, we only hit 26 doubles on the season! That won't get you where you want to be that's for sure.
As you stated we'll be young, but lots of SEC teams have young guys contributing in big ways. I reckon it's a clean slate and hopefully the best players will play regardless of the seniority.
Again, welcome to the board. A word of caution, VN can sometimes be brutal for parents/family members. The baseball forum, well we try to keep it pretty clean, and most here don't bash the players, but every now and again during a game thread, some things might get said in the heat of the moment. For instance, I never read game threads in the Football Forum, it gets pretty low rent at times, so after a while I simply said, "this isn't for me."
Anyways, as Freak says, "post often" and good luck to your son as he opens the next chapter.
GBO!!!
