Our issues with the mental aspects of our pitching staff are extremely

Obvious to anyone who knows anything about baseball…and this has been a consistent theme over the course of Szec’s teams. Our guys aren’t mentally tough and fall apart quickly whenever the opposing team applies pressure… I’ve been pretty adamant about this over the last 3+ years. VT DESPERATELY NEEDS a top notch pitching coach who is adept at the mental, emotional side of the game. Our guys have physical talent…no issues there. Unfortunately we don’t have the mental game down. We just spent X millions on a state of the art pitching lab…we’ve got the stuff, just not the staff on this most crucial issue/obstscle to success. ** Edited by Irish Hokie at 4/13/2024, 7:59:18 PM ** Edited by Irish Hokie at 4/13/2024, 8:04:15 PM
