If you think it’s a coincidence that “one of the best professors” a player had, ended up being the best pitching coach they ever had, it’s not. @Spigner23 was the best history professor/teacher and the best HC I’ve ever had.
In terms of throwing pitches in the zone, Vanderbilt was 253rd in the country last year, Mississippi State was 262nd.
Vanderbilt threw the 25th most pitches down the middle, State was 9th. You prevent runs in college with good stuff, not by “just throwing strikes” or control.
Saw a tweet earlier that said something similar. FPS are important, but winning (whiff, foul, called strike) the first two of three pitches is more important.
