Message: [QUOTE="Rdkid, post: 4909327, member: 11865"] The concerning trend to me is the lack of growth year-over-year with pitchers. Kids who are upperclassmen who are no more serviceable than when they were freshman. Mostly because they have no better control, much less command. If you are a junior or senior and can’t throw your fastball for strikes in the one inning you’re called upon (sometimes during weekday competition), what are you doing on the roster? It is frustrating to watch but maybe part of a trend - that some of these kids can throw hard, but have no feel to pitch. I won’t name names, because I support and root for all of them, but there are 6-8 pitchers I have seen over the past two years especially who demonstrate little capacity to compete. [/QUOTE]
