Re: D3 v. D1
This conversation at the same game sums up what happens just in D1 v. D1. It applies to the D3 v. D1 conversation.
The Boston College pitcher was mowing down Harvard. Yet in every ACC opportunity he was wild and got pounded.
The pitcher’s father bitched when he’s facing lesser non league competition he goes at them and mows them over. When he faces ACC teams he picks at the strike zone, walk hitters or gets behind in the count, throws meat and gets hammered.
The non pro prospect D3 stud pitcher is probably going to have the same issues facing even a mediocre to poor D1 lineup. Yes, there are some potential mid major D1 players in some D3 lineups. But it’s a couple of guys not the whole lineup.
