Lineup and pitching staff will need to be patched up with JC transfers and freshman. Really need to bring in some kids with some pop and two, three, or four kids that can bring it from the hill. We just seem to always have pitchers that either throw 88-90 from the right side or are crafty leftys (Averill, Satow, Lambson, etc.). The only lefty I can remember that threw over 90 that got significant innings in the last 5 years is Bordes. Start bringing in some kids that can throw hard (90+) and work with them to get them throwing the ball over the plate on a consistent basis. There has got either be an increase in the overall talent of the top 5 guys on the pitching staff or more depth created on the pitching staff. Every meaningful inning of the CWS was pitched by Leake, Spence, Lambson, and Swagerty. You can't expect to win a national title off the backs of four pitchers, one whose arm is hurt because he threw too much at the end of the regular season.
