Is the relaxation of grooming standards the cause of poor fielding?

The sloppiness and lack of crispness of the baseball team's fielding has rightly commanded a large amount of airtime following this weekend's disappointing Shiners Classic.

Notably, a larger contingent of the baseball team is going with the try-hard mullet and/or mustache look this season. This reflects a lackadaisical attitude among the team that is problematic and contagious.

Studies overwhelmingly prove that personal grooming is correlated with focus, attention to detail, and overall professionalism. If you skip the barber, skip your daily shave, and generally don't take care of your personal business, are you going to have the mental toughness, discipline, and tenacity to care about the aspects of baseball that may be mundane, but are still very important?

The key to getting the fielding issues corrected is to reinstitute the ban on long hair and facial hair on the team.

I hope that Coach Johnson sees the light and remedies the issue with what really is a simple solution.

The increase in facial hair has led to more errors. Direct correlation. Shave it at practice today.

No, but would be a good motivational tactic. Until team fielding % reaches a certain level then all facial hair must go.

I don't think it has anything to do with ON THE FIELD PERFPRMANCE, but it does look like total crap.

They're just trying to copy MLB'ers. (Grooming-uniform- shoe-sock-pants non-uniformity and all)

Funny you say this...

Last year, when PM started off the year with a relaxed shave rule, they were 14-3. Right before conference play, in the midweek against Southeastern, PM reinforced the rule. They shaved and proceeded to go 20-19.
