This past year, the Pitt baseball team had another largely disappointing year at 23-30. To be fair to head coach Joe Jordano, the team lost quite a bit of talent in the MLB Draft in 2016 with five players selected, including a first-round pick. But the reality is that 2017 wasn't the first year of struggles for Pitt in the ACC.
The Panthers haven't had a season over .500 since 2013, their final year in the Big East. And even with all of that talent in 2016, the team was still only 25-26 on the season.
Given what the Panthers had that year with a first-round starting pitcher and one of the top shortstops in the nation, I was a little surprised to read this from Jordano in one of his recent interviews on the PItt athletics site.
