Hopefully this makes it through....Yes, pitching and bullpen has been an obvious and public issue.As Nuke mentioned, lest us forget last year was Covid and difficult to get the guys reps and trained. Not many were able to do summer league either.The GT pitching lab is brand new and opened in Feb/March of 21. Not sure what they did before.The guys on campus now (outside of Huff and Medich) weren't recruited by DBo. He's dealing with what was previously recruited and left over from previous pitching coach and staff.Not saying that is a bad thing, but it's a fact. As Sam and Andy (and others) have mentioned, directly in interviews and twitter, DBo has helped with their pitching packages and mechanics. It's definitely happening.  There are no "major overhauls" at that level. You tweak what you got vs dramatically change something you've been doing for 8-10 years...Tweaking takes time, repetition, and confidence.They've got the metrics and that helps with what a tweak here or a tweak there does. DBo has posted before/afters multiple times on twitter as have others.Here are a few. Change takes time and is happening, more with some than others, but happening just the same.[MEDIA=twitter]1301687917832790017[/MEDIA][MEDIA=twitter]1223279725151309824[/MEDIA][MEDIA=twitter]1197701433384198146[/MEDIA][MEDIA=twitter]1197285781490085889[/MEDIA][MEDIA=twitter]1188485378279464962[/MEDIA]I'd say hold off judging DBo until after the next 2 classes of arms (21 & 22 are all pitching recruits he's been directly involved with) and see what you think of recruiting and what he can do with those recruited once on campus.Like Ramsey said, you have to "buy into your role" and that is the case.DBo was successful as a Pitcher and Pitching Coordinator. I believe he'll continue that trend here at GT - so much so my son is betting his development and career on it.That speaks volumes.Public data available on 21 recruiting class. (I haven't updated since last Fall)....I know for a fact, Cody, Aeden, Logan, Christian have all improved their velo and metrics....Expect the same out of Cameron Hill.[ATTACH=full]10628[/ATTACH]FOR COMPARISON....<a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=499564" target="_blank">PG Data on MGJr.</a>..who is doing great as a true Freshman and getting better and developed...He's very good! I also think the press and the hype were due to his dad. Almost all the guys above have better PG career stats. So think of 5-7 MGJrs coming on campus this fall! Now how freaking excited are you??? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> [ATTACH=full]10629[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]10630[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
