[QUOTE="senoiajacket, post: 1000723, member: 3132"] If you listened to the new pitching coaches interview b4 the Ga Southern game, he said specifically attacking the strike zone (can’t recall if he used those exact words or not) was a priority for the staff. He called out two programs, Tennessee and someone else and said they were the best staffs in the country and stated (one of) the main reasons for it was their aggressiveness to throw strikes and how we wanted to emulate that to be like them. So unless he’s just flat out making it up, our players are being coached (told) to be aggressive and throw strikes. In the first inning, even in Cam’s warm ups, it looked like he was trying to overthrow to me. Especially on the follow through. On the pitch the guy blooped down the line he fell flat on his back on the follow through, hard enough where I was concerned he hurt himself. I thought to myself, this can’t be his normal follow through. So is this a case where you’re coached one way and then get amped up and forget what you’ve been doing? Or am I just being an armchair coach who knows nothing? Guess (maybe) we’ll see next week. I just can’t imagine these guys got to this level without the ability to consistently throw strikes. Maybe someone is changing (tweeking) their mechanics when they come into the program and it’s throwing off their control?? Again, I just don’t get it. I hope you are correct and given time the new pitching coach is able to get them to throw more strikes. [/QUOTE]
