@3and2Fastball posted:My kids D3 team has started out 4-6. Beat a Top 25 team, lost a few games against perceived lesser opponents. We’ll see how it shakes out. Conference games start this weekend. He’s backing up a couple of 5th year Seniors who are 3 year starters and career .300+ hitters at 3B/1B. Learning a lot, having fun, working hard, staying prepared. The fate of this year’s team will be decided by (isn’t this true with any Baseball team at any level?) the pitching depth.
As much as pitching depth how well they take of the ball on D will be huge. All solid D3 teams hit, the lineups are deeper then the pitchers even for the better teams. The teams that limit the most free bags will have pitching staffs that look deeper then they really are. Good luck.
