Schloss was also an early adapter is the mental side. He had(has) a sports psychologist work with the team. While it angers some on here, you can see it with the players getting centered and not wasting swings or pitches. The moment has never been too big and the game is never over. We’ve had a handful of comebacks we had no business winning.

I did like when he said that he felt a team playing the shift against his batters is an insult and that they teach to bat with the pitch. I wish LSU and Jay Johnson would do more of that. The shift is played throughout the LSU lineup it seems and a lot of the team keeps grounding into it. I watched Brayden Jobert hit into the pull side shift for 6 weeks until he finally got hot against Vanderbilt this past weekend.

Was very excited when we landed him from TCU. He was my preferred target that I thought would not become available.

The team reflects the coach/ leader - and excelling on the mental side makes an enormous difference.

Had low expectations given the roster from last year. But he worked some magic.

not surprised Schloss had the foresight to do so. he's one of the best in college baseball. Ray asked Doc Kasper to sit in his dugout beginning in 1997 when Tanner took the Gamecock baseball job.

Doc was a vital part in all of Carolina's success including the back-to-backs in Omaha. we lost Doc in April 2021. Kasper held 2 degrees from Ole Miss and and PH.D. from MSU.
