re: Bregman uses hitting instructor in New Mexico for recent improvement

Then you quickly forget all the other years Javi was here previous to that one, right?

No, I haven't. I had a post a couple months back listing our rankings in the SEC in hitting categories since he's been our coach. I'll see if I can dig it up. We've consistently been one of the best 3-5 best hitting teams in the SEC since 2008.

If you don't think he's a problem for LSU then you don't watch much baseball.

K.

Seeing him at third base was all you needed to know there.

What?

If he was such a good coach then he would have demand in college baseball.

Maybe he likes being the hitting coach at the best baseball program in the country and working for a dear friend. Crazy, I know.

I'm willing to bet a vast majority of fans who follow the program will tell you they're not a fan of him.

This means quite literally fricking nothing to me. We have a mind-numbingly stupid fan base. But... Cool?

Who are some great hitting coaches on staff at other schools (serious question)?

Who has been more consistent at the plate in SEC over the last 6 years than LSU?

Bottom line in all of this is we place too much value in the idea that a hitting coach can vastly change the fortunes of a team. A little tip here and there helps, but often it's self-motivation and drive to improve.
