The pitchers have definitely regressed the question?

It seems that everyone of these pitchers were highly rated by every scouting organization. I seem to recall that the transfer portal was ranked #1 by someone and the freshman class was highly ranked. Sometimes players just aren't mentally tough enough to overcome adversity.

The three bolded numbers are his worst ever (22 seasons). ERA is his worst at a P4/5 school (19 seasons), and WHIP is his second worst at a P4/5 school. Just for some perspective for anyone who is wondering.

I agree 100%. It doesn’t matter how hard you throw when you have no control and have no secondary pitches that you can throw for strikes.

Yeah, everyone was impressed because so many of the staff was hitting over 95 at the season start, myself included.

Turns out, maybe a few mph less and more control would work out better.
