Well if we are being accurate the number of pitchers used is up to 20. A couple are 2 way guys. And they are now 8-1. But those are just details. The point of this thread is the challenge facing freshmen trying to get on the field at top 30 D1 programs.

That can be an emotional and mental challenge. Just about every D1 player that arrives on a college campus have tasted nothing but success their entire career. I can see their being some mental scar tissue forming when they find themselves in John's position of not getting any playing time. However, there is nothing that changes a coaches mind about a player as fast as seeing success in a game situation. If John can get on the field and make the most of his outings, then the coach will put him back out there again.
