But the broader outlook of the program. This team has its flaws but had cobbled together enough to still have a chance at the postseason, but the series loss to Stanford all but closes the door on any remote chance at postseason play. And with some of the underlying metrics (poor situational hitting, getting out-homered at an almost 3-to-1 clip in ACC play), this season could unravel into Szefc’s worst since his first season. It’s pretty clear at this point that Szefc is on the downside of his career and the program feels stagnant. I was really hoping we could achieve an NCAA tournament berth this year and keep together a very promising 2027 recruiting class and possibly see a second peak under Szefc, but things seem to be going in the opposite direction and next year could be even worse if we don’t somehow start landing higher level transfers (which seems unlikely).
