re: SEC play starts Fri. Anyone feel differently about this team after 18 games? Predictions

Hitting will be fine but may take some humbling efforts early-on in SEC play. For whatever the reason, there have been a lot of high fly outs unrelated to the wind. The strikeouts (swinging) have been elevated, ascending swings and the combination of the two suggests they’ve been just swinging for the fences against some of the weaker arms they’ve faced. Its not intentional but the respect they’ll give SEC pitchers will level their swinging planes to produce more base hits and at least harder hit balls than what we’ve seen so far.
