Answer 2

I'm ready! Pitching is deep and good, lots of options, will be difficult to figure out everyone's role early on but most are already established so that helps. Will be breaking in a new catcher so that may be tough. Hopefully hitting will be adequate but pitching is so good that it won't have to be spectacular to beat people. Van Horn has said that we probably won't run as much simply because the bats have been modified from the ones used last year and the new ones have more pop so we shouldn't have to manufacture runs as much.

Is it true that they are talking about moving right field in 10 feet, or have they already done that?

Answer 4

already done it, been having trouble recruiting power-hitting lefties, other schools have been using this against us. This should help.
