I believe it’s a SEC thing.


It is. They were already bad to start, but now they're being graded using trackman and they're up in their heads about it and even worse.

They're squeezing guys and having inconsistent zones. Everyone is throwing more pitches, and doing so at a faster clip (though I like the clock) than they used to.

I think it's too many changes at once.

The zones during the South Carolina series were some of the tightest strike zones I've seen in college baseball.

Good point and likely a key factor

Absolutely. Too many changes for both the players AND umpires. Results in what we’re seeing across the board.
