I’m not sure the OP appreciates how difficult pitching is. It often takes guys in the MLB till they’re mid to late 20’s to develop serious consistency. College guys are going to have fluctuations over the years unless they are named Paul Skenes

Speaking of paul Skenes. Here's an interesting clip of Skenes using the new ball/strike challenge in AAA.

He is definitely coming for Angel Hernandez (and CB Bucknor lol).

If this ever reaches the MLB, I genuinely want to see what happens after he calls out Angel 25 times a game. The tension will be incredible. Look at Angel's work below. Trash.

But at what point do we ask if Frank Anderson isn’t the pitching savant he’s been made out to be? I know, I know…but consider:

-Chase Burns got worse his 2nd year at UT. Now he’s good again at Wake.
-Dollander got worse his 2nd year at UT. His junior year cost him millions.
-Beam has now gotten worse in his junior year. His junior year may be costing him millions.

The last AJ Russell outing was really poorly managed. 6 walks and 2 hits in 2.2 innings? 69 pitches and gets injured. No way he should’ve been in that long, both because he didn’t have it and because he was coming back from an injury.

For years, we’ve discussed Frank’s belief in not worrying about base runners. Less justifiable when pitchers aren’t getting guys out and missing bats.

There are some bad trends with UT pitchers over the last few years. On the other hand, he did a great job with Walsh, Kirby, Hunley, and others. Maybe he’s better with the lower velocity crafty pitchers than the guys who come in with great stuff and high velocity?

I think it’s worth considering at this point, given that all 3 of those tremendous 2022 weekend starters eventually got worse at UT. I’m not saying he’s a bad pitching coach or that he isn’t a good one. But maybe he isn’t the elite coach we’ve deemed him to be.

Here's me, asking a question a couple months ago.

Here's that question being answered with a resounding "NO": NCAA College Baseball DI current team Stats | NCAA.com

Finishing 3rd in the nation in ERA with this group certainly is "pitching savant" material. That's not to say there aren't some talented arms on this staff, but there's no Burns or Dollander type of arm talent. The only one(s) close are AJ Russell, who pitched 17 innings all season, and Matthew Dallas, who just hasn't been ready. Doing what he did with Sechrist, Causey, Stamos, etc. and cobbling this staff together was an incredible coaching job.

Hats off, Coach Anderson. Forgive me for questioning.

Wasn’t going to mention it NHV, but I thought our pitching really took off right after you originally posted this thread. Maybe you caused some kind of reverse jinx on us?

We actually ended with the same amount of earned runs allowed as Arkansas in SEC only games. They played a few more innings than us so they only edged us out by a few points.

My biggest concern with the pitching staff is they let their pitchers throw a lot of pitches before they bring in a reliever.. Their arms are still young and 120 pitches are a lot. I do uotknow how many pitches they throw through the week but I am sure they throw some.

I don't see many pitchers going over 100 let alone 120 pitches. I'd like to know how many times a starter went into the 7th or 8th innings this year. I would think it's not over 5 times.
