quote:Coaches play the best players (no matter what their class), if a senior and a freshman are of equal ability, the senior will get more work at first, because experience sometimes rules over inexperience.
Most college coaches expect their older players to mentor the younger players
Why do you think I posted what I did ? What happened was unusual and totally unpredictable.
2 of our most successful pitchers were seniors. One was pitcher of the week in the Big South. He was always a top 4-5 guy. Sometimes coaches don't do what is logical. Mi son had several non conference starts and some conference relief work. Yes the SRs were upset but they did what they had to do.
The new coaches had nothing to do with recruiting and said they were looking forward to next year and wanted to see what they had to work with. Not exactly inspiring.
Don't always trust your logic.
Just to be clear, we wouldn't have changed a thing in the recruiting process. BB was a small part of the experience.
