It did take a complete swing change over the summer though.
It will take a complete swing change for Milazzo. He hit over .400 in his senior year at Zachary. Talk about positive reinforcement for poor habits. It will take alot to undo his tendencies, but Jay and Wanaka could do it. I just don't know if they can invest that much into Milazzo, when you have guys needing less tweaking standing next to him that that are the future. It seems that they're really just trying to work on Milazzo from the standpoint of seeing pitches, moving runners, etc...and not necessarily undoing his poor habits. It will take Milazzo making the changes without constant monitoring, while also still working on seeing pitches, moving runners, etc.

Every player that comes to lsu hits well in high school. That is not a barometer

Everybody who is half decent hits .400 in high school

Not every one hits well with poor tendencies. I didn't mention it as a barometer. The very next sentence was that he got positive reinforcement with poor tendencies, so it will be harder to fix him.

He’s needed work at receiving. But he is perfectly capable at handling a staff and the running game.
He has trouble catching the ball.
He doesn’t call the pitches.
He doesn’t throw guys out.
At this point we’re running out of tangible things he does. What does “handling the staff” mean at this point?
What are you talking about?

I expect W Michigan to start a LHP on opening night.
P - Skenes
DH - Jones
C - Milazzo
1B - Morgan
2B - Dugas
SS - Thompson
3B - White
LF - Pearson
CF - Crews
RF - Kling
I could see Merrifield starting at 2B. I want to see if Dugas logs any innings in the OF this weekend bc I could see him start opening night in LF with Merrifield at 2B against LHP.
W Michigan will be otherwise RH dominant on the mound, so the LHHs will get plenty of action once the LH starter leaves. I will be paying particular attention to how we handle LHP, though, bc we were bad last year.

Travinski actually has a strong arm. Teams barely ran on us despite how poor we were catching the ball. Only 42 attempts all season. The third fewest in the SEC. And we threw 11 of those out (% also being towards the top of the SEC) with Travinski and McManus having almost identical percentages. Throwing guys out wasn’t the problem with either catcher. Giving away strikeouts and runners free bases by not blocking/catching the baseball was the issue

That was almost entirely bc of Meatball's emphasis on pitchers holding runners. It's one of his primary focuses, and it showed. I have other reasons but I'll leave it at that. Travinski and McManus could both pop and throw fine, though, I do agree.
ETA: I hope we've worked on tweener cue shots/bunts alot. We seemed lost on certain difficult areas in the infield grass, particularly when you had a charging 2B, agile/aggressive 1B, and pitcher popping off the rubber. Over the course of a season, those make a difference if you booboo too many.

I see the board is still beating the Milazzo horse.
Give it a rest please.
One thing I forgot to mention from Sunday was that I had a scout tell me LSU’s roster was the most talented college baseball roster he had ever seen.

I agree And Travinski was very bad at this. He had 6 PB in 15 games. He is a bay we can squeeze in at Catcher but he needs as much work at fielding that position as Milazzo does hitting

20% is above average in the SEC.
Posted on 2/7/23 at 8:48 pm to lsufball19
8 teams including LSU averaged more.
The league wide average was 20.5% which includes Vandy that had like 109 attempts and caught 11 of them. It’s 21.8 if you don’t invlude them.
Idk where he falls compared to all catchers because honestly I have no idea where to find sortable college baseball stats.
He also can’t field a ball in the dirt

So right at average. So Travinski can throw people out, or are we going to spend more time arguing how much you think someone sucks at something

He was a below average carcher on our team he would be a below average catcher on 7 other teams in the conference.
If you wanna look at league wide average you can but it’s a useless statistic considering uneven distribution.
NVm you dip in and out of sample size arguments when it suits you.

Compared to Travinski? Yeah, no kidding

Eh, maybe, probably around average like the numbers show if I had to guess. You’re really splitting hairs here but not really showing me he can’t throw runners out either
quote:

Like comparing him to entire teams’ averages while also comparing him to individual players on LSU’s team? That useless?
quote:

Well you can’t have it both ways. You want to use the same sample size to say he can’t throw runners out

I’m talking about Travinski. But he did have the % on the team.

Except that’s not true.
8 Teams has batter team averages than 20%. So on those teams by definition he would be below average.

I meanni Can say he wouldn’t be above average in most teams in the league. I also Haven’t compared him to any individual players.
And remember you said above average.

Do all 8 teams carry just one catcher? So our third or fourth string catcher is behind the average of 8 teams? And that’s supposed to show me he can’t throw people out? That’s the conclusion you came to?
quote:

And you said he couldn’t throw anyone out
