If USC is going to rely on small ball, it needs to get much better at it

South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook seems intent on playing small ball to win games.

“Trying to get that runner to third base with less than two outs is going to be a priority of mine going forward,” Holbrook told 107.5 FM in Columbia on Monday.

Teams have won championships playing small ball and teams have won championships playing for the three-run homer. Both can work and have worked at South Carolina and at other places.

In recent years, Holbrook has been set on making small ball a big part of the Gamecocks’ offense. The problem right now is his team isn’t very good at it.
