UH baseball controls its destiny in quest for AAC regular season title

After a disastrous 2021 season, UH baseball has turned things around and is back where it wants to be — playing meaningful games in May.

“These games in May matter,” said UH baseball head coach Todd Whitting. “It’s a lot of fun to play college baseball in the games that matter right now. We’re playing for a ring.”

Behind UH’s turnaround

Offensive struggles plagued the Cougars in 2021, as the team averaged a mere 4.32 runs per game while batting .239 overall.

The biggest factor that contributed to the struggles at the plate was that the team relied on two players, Ryan Hernandez and Steven Rivas, to carry the offense.
