Skylar Meade was hired as South Carolina’s pitching coach nearly a month after the Gamecocks wrapped fall practices. The 2018 regular season begins in February.
It’s a unique situation that doesn’t come with a handbook, Meade admitted Tuesday afternoon at Founders Park. The 33-year-old is in midst of a crash course in getting to know his players before he positions them for real competition.
“You just got to roll with the punches and figure it out,” Meade told a crowd of reporters.
Meade officially became Jerry Meyers’ replacement last Monday. He’s beginning to settle in Columbia after three successful years at Michigan State.
