The season has already started for the Orange and Blue. They started the year 1-3 but have rebounded nicely with two-straight victories in their last two contests. Why have the Illini had a shaky start to the season?
Many Illinois fans were rooting on the Illini baseball team in 2019 as they forged their way to the postseason. They made it to the NCAA Regional only to be ousted in the first two games. But why isn’t that success translating to wins early in the 2020 campaign? The simple answer to that question is; talent.
Illinois was loaded with experience in 2019, but a lot of that experience has now departed the program.
