Had never really heard him have a conversation before. Dude is impressive. I know his resume speaks for itself, but the way he talked about his approach to the program and hitting specifically was very impressive. Guy is gonna win a bunch of games there.

Didn’t see it but I make a point to listen to all his media clips. Super impressive.

Had a chance to work with Schlos when I worked in sports medicine for Tulane over twenty years ago. I still stand strong on my opinion that he was the brains and force behind those really good Tulane teams of the early 2000’s

Agree. His approach was so simple....swing at strikes and not at balls. Don’t take a pitch based on count, tendencies, or any of that shite.

Wish Dave Van Horn would take a hint from him

Yep - a new school approach (no choke and poke, ground balls in certain counts, etc) aimed at performing in an old school way (spray the field, be un-shiftable, etc).

And it would be in the "sounds great but show me" category except his results in prior years and year 1 at A&M speak for themselves. Very impressive.

I hated y'all for a few years back then. Good times.

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.

Thing about it is the team got better from start to finish…I’m impressed…
Something I hope LSU is seeing at the moment…
We shall see…

One of the first things he did was praise Childress which I'm sure will give CGSCLobotomy a stroke if he hears it.

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.

the 2 things he said that i liked were:

1) batting practice homeruns are one of the most least impressive things to him

2) i take it as a personal insult if a team shifts for any of my hitters

dude spoke some great hitting approaches. great interview.

Yes, Gautreau
Talent as a player just does not always transfer to teaching (as in coaching)

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.

If you can, watch Jack Moss our 1st baseman hit today. Dude is batting in the .366 and up area. He's a professional hitter. Really fun to watch.

I also like he said Home Runs in Batting Practice are very unimpressive.

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.
