Now that football season is over, and the signing furor has wrapped up for NCAA football, it is time we began to look toward something a bit slower paced, pastoral, and varied but still always the same. It’s a time when we think of "pickers" and "sticks". We talk about sliders, curves, and change-ups. We will occasionally think about pitching from the stretch because there’s a man on first, or pitching out and sacrificing a ball for a potential throw out on an attempted steal of first base.
College baseball is an odd sport. It starts a month and a half earlier than the professional leagues.
