Ben and whoever else was announcing talk about the rash of pitching inquires in the SEC this year. Didn't hear the entire conversation, maybe someone else can comment.

it was chris burke. he and ben both said there is no one reason why it's happening across the league. in their words, no one has put a finger on it which means it's mystifying everyone. this is definitely not an lsu issue.

ben said one difference is that with people specializing in pitching, they are throwing max effort on every pitch younger and younger. he said in the past, getting 2 groundouts and a popup was good enough. now you have to blow hitters away with high velocity and tons of movement. it's definitely an interesting phenomenon.
