Life must be tough for you. You can’t grasp that people can have thoughts on their own and then form them into sentences to convey those thoughts. I’ve never used ChatGPT. I have a functioning brain.

As someone who’s played at a high level it’s not so much about “stuff”. If you are on campus as a pitcher in college you have it. Consistency in arm action and mental focus is what separates the good from the great. Can you walk someone and come back from it. Can you give up a home run and have a short memory. Or will you shake your head and start to lose it. That’s what’s separates guys.

I don’t think you know what the word alter means.

But that’s not surprising, because you’re a fricking retard.

Oh bullshite. Projects are projects because they have a lot of work to do. Yeskie can only do so much. At some point it's on the player to execute. Not all projects work out.


Was Schmidt a”project “? Evans?
Rizy? Shearin?

Seriously people are throwing the word “project” around without context.

Honestly, how many high school pitchers do we get that aren’t projects?

Very few guys that struggle with command suddenly figure it out and learn to become Maddux. There's just some guys that have the stones to do it and some just dont!

The time constraints and the conflicting incentives (pure development vs winning) make anyone, not just Yeskie, taking on too many "projects" a fools errand.


This is such a good point that most people—myself included—don’t really account for to the level it actually plays out. It’s not the summer league or the minors where immediate results don’t really matter, and you can develop for the long-term. The biggest part of Yeskie’s job is to help LSU win immediately, not develop guys to be at their absolute best 3 years from now. It would be great if those 2 interests aligned, but they often don’t.

So Yeskie—hell, all college coaches—are forced to think more short term. “How can I get this guy to help us win NOW, and be at his “best” by the end of THIS season?” Their “long-term” thinking with guys they’re counting on to contribute to the current team is development over a season.

And a lot of times they are forced to take “short cuts” that may not necessarily be in the best interest of a guy’s development over a 2 or 3 year period when they likely will be long gone from Baton Rouge.

And somebody above mentioned mindset and the mental part of pitching, which I believe, is mostly just innate. Can you miss your spot, give up a 425 foot bomb, and immediately put it behind you, take the pill, and go back to work? Or, like what happened a lot with our defense this year, can you make a good pitch that turns an out into an E4, or a bloop that finds a hole—especially if they happen back to back—and dig down deep and not let it blow up into a huge inning?

It’s hard to throw 5-6 “outs” in an inning and overcome it. Again, I think a lot of that is innate. But you have to have the stuff 1st. Like put Gavin Guidry’s head on William Schmidt’s body, and he’s probably an All-American. Yeskie can help that some, but he’s limited like all coaches.

There’s fixing and there’s making things worse. Yeskie thought he had guys who could open up every AB with swing and miss and then finish the AB with swing and miss. When good batters weren’t getting fooled, there was no backup plan. It was an odd reversal of throwing to contact vs develop dynamic pitches. Kids used to grow up learning how to throw strikes then pick up velocity. Then it became throw it harder and we can figure out the zone later. Now they’re being taught how to spin it more and throw it harder. Forget location. I know that benefits some but it can’t be the only approach which is what we had.


How did this reply get this uvdv ratio?

Yeskie strengths are managing developed pitchers.

I think we are taking stabs at evaluating him with very little data. I doubt any of us really dissected Yeski’s staff progress in his previous years.

I’m not doing your research for you.

If you watched any baseball the last two years, that’s all the proof you need.



It's wild that some of you believe you can accurately judge a coach based on just watching games on TV.

He only had the most national pitching CoTY awards and six trips to the College World Series, winning a National Title in 2018 and again in 2025. He is the only active coach in to have gone to the CWS with four different programs.

I hate our entitled and sports ignorant fanbase.

I do know he helped Kade Anderson go from a pitcher that struggled getting outs in sec play into the best pitcher in college baseball.
