Friday morning pitching coach update


Jun 26, 2015, 9:32 AM

I've been talking to a couple of people and it sounds as if Monte Lee is getting close to making a pitching coach hire.

I'm hearing that it won't be UNC Wilmington's Matt Williams. Williams was thought to be one of the front runners for the vacancy because of his time at SMC, but folks I've talked to have said that Lee wanted to bring in a coach with more national recognition.

From everything that I'm hearing, Duke's Andrew See may be the front runner at this point. See has been at Duke for two seasons and coached the Blue Devils to a 3.14 team ERA. The last time Duke had an ERA under 4.0 was 1993 and it was the lowest team ERA since 1971 (2.71). See pitched and played outfield for Georgia and Ohio and could bring experience to the pitching staff as well as the offense as he hit 17 home runs and accounted for a then school record 70 RBI as a senior. He also left Ohio with a career .647 slugging percentage.

We probably won't know anything official until sometime next week, but David and I will keep you updated as much as we can.

I can see the logic of hiring a pitching coach with some name recognition, like a Roger Williams (Louisville) or a Scott Forbes (UNC). But See has no name recognition. And Duke's program is ranked well below UNCW's. Despite the puff piece from the Duke website, I don't see any advantage to him over Williams or even Reames.

If it's not Williams, they ought to look at someone like Robert Woodard at Va Tech, who, despite a tough year this year, is considered to be one of the top young pitching coaches out there.

Listen you stupid son of a #####. I am not pretending to know who he looked at, anymore than you do. I'm just throwing out an opinion and a name. If you don't like it because it disagrees with your opinion, tough ####.

I stopped coming to t-net for football discussion a long time ago. I just come for the humor.

5000 comedians out of work, and we're still trying to be funny. :(

sounds to me like those "comedians" need to step their gane up.

Also, you'll probably get better results if you don't bring up football in a baseball thread...HTH
