I think Coach "Pawl" is a dieing breed.
He's a great hitting coach, but the days of gorilla ball are over. They were 10 and 6 years ago when they first reduced the bats, and they are even more now after the last change.
They are basically swining wood bats now that have a smaller sweet spot than the much debated hickory bats.
IMHO, it'll ruin one of the few things college baseball had going for it, but arms are in high demand.
And just for the record, the arms in the state of Alabama either go pro or go somewhere else. The best two arms I have seen are at Pelham and Bibb, and one is going to MSU and the other is going JuCo in hopes of getting drafted after his first year.

Coach paw was a pitching coach. Hitting is not his specialty. We've just been unlucky with a couple pitchers going to the majors instead of auburn.
