A great breaking ball doesn’t hit the plate. A great pitch is one that is whiffed and can be caught by the catcher.

Ok, that’s fine. Here’s my point though: it’s good enough for strike one and two. It’s good enough if there’s a guy on first (unless there’s two outs). Why is not good enough the other times?

If you have to make a bunch of special exceptions to make a rule workable, it might be an indication that the rule doesn’t belong in the first place.

Strike 3 - you’re out. Go to the dugout. It’s fair to all parties and makes perfect sense in the context of the game. If the catcher can’t catch the pitch, the offense can benefit by possibly advancing their runners that didn’t strike out.

For some of these guys it might be less about talent and more about fit. None of the OL talked about were recruited by the current staff, who run a very different scheme.

I get that, just agreeing with volbeast that it's strange and a little depressing to hear people, especially media people, saying a first or second year guy will never make the two deep. Historically, college players have often become contributors later in their career after they've paid their dues, but the transfer portal seems to have more players and observers wanting to short circuit that process. Roster instability could make the college game more dependent on raw athleticism and less on execution.
