Good pitching beats good hitting. You’ve heard that one, right?
Duke baseball pitching coach Brady Kirkpatrick has some thoughts.
“I’m a huge proponent of the cliche that good pitching beats good hitting. Hitters are always at a disadvantage when they step into the box.”
You can never have too much pitching. You’ve also heard that one.
Kirkpatrick again: “We’re lucky enough that we have a lot of returnees from last year, a lot of experience. We definitely have some depth.”
Now, some context. Duke expected Luke Fox and Jonathan Santucci to anchor their 2023 starting rotation.
