Is the baseball team really this bad?

The starting pitching isn't terrible, Beeks is legit as expected, I think Poche will be alright, Oliver and Killian too. The bullpen is meh.

Our bats are as bad, if not worse, than last season. Somehow. Maybe it's just early and they'll get going, but with how loaded the SEC is and how badly they're struggling with some bad teams, it doesn't look good.

This very well may be the first time since 2001 we do not make the NCAA Tournament.

I've said it before that I don't think Van Horn is the right man to get us where we want to be. I think he is a very good coach, just not a great coach. I don't think Van Horn can ever win a National Championship, I think his ceiling was 2012 College World Series run.

Last years preseason #1 team, who DVH said was his best team ever, was a complete failure and disappointment. Bowing out as a 2 seed in the first round. This year may see us miss the NCAAT altogether, rebuilding or not we have never missed the NCAAT and we've had numerous rebuilding years under DVH.

We've sank a lot of money into the baseball program, currently sinking more in an indoor practice facility no other school has.

I'm just concerned that the program has stalled, we've reached our ceiling under DVH. Just not sure I like where the program is headed.

Who knows, maybe we turn it around this year and make a run, I just don't see it in the SEC. Team looks a lot like last year, minus the great pitching.
