So when the next guy isn’t hitting up to your standards in his first 100 SEC plate appearances then what? You literally think everyone is gonna come in and hit .280 in the SEC. For every Larson you get you probably have 3 or 4 guys like Milazzo, Braswell, etc who need a few seasons of actual experience which equates to around 130 plate appearances per season.

Andrew Stevenson, in his second full season at LSU had a .193 batting average against all teams and a .289 OBP. In his junior season, he led the team with a .335 BA and was second only to Alex Bregman in OBP.

Kramer Robertson, against all teams, hit .232 his sophomore year. His junior and senior seasons, he hit .324 and .307 respectively.

We heard many of the same types of comments currently being said about Kling. That they should transfer, should never hit again, etc.

Agreed. He is so fixated on saying Kling has had 2 seasons against SEC pitching that he can’t even realize the kid doesn’t even have a full seasons worth of plate appearances yet. In his eyes, guys aren’t allowed to improve. The numbers since April show Kling is improving which makes sense as he is getting more experience. Not really sure why he is having such a hard time understanding this.

Plus I also think CJJ was putting too much pressure on him putting him in the leadoff spot. I actually think he is going to do pretty good in the 8 hole and if not, well at least we have a better defender at one of the most important positions in the field.
