I don't think that 90% of college LHPs are good enough with their control to truly give a platoon advantage.

Would I like to see LSU with more LHP on the staff? Yes. I don't think it's some glaring weakness though. We had two JUCO LHP transfers last season that were little more than warm bodies.

That's my whole point. The majority of the ones who would be good enough are in high demand and get drafted out of high school. The value of a great lefty can't be overstated, but it's because they are so rare.

Eh, well we're competing against that 10% for championships.

this is an insane take for someone who follows baseball like you do

you do not need to be some insanely talented LHP to be more affective vs left handed hitters than most RHPs
