A player that is no longer with our program pinch hit in a garbage midweek with two weeks left in the season. He was entered into the game with two outs and the runner at first was picked off before he even saw a pitch. Redshirt year burned.
The year before that one of our guys in his lone college plate appearance was HBP on the first pitch. One year of eligibility - gone.
Yes it's common. Maybe not to those extremes, but it is common for a player to throw 2.1 innings or get 6 ABs. It really is pathetic sometimes.
