His official title is recruiting coordinator. But, he spends the most time with our hitters. I don't know of an NCAA baseball team with an official Hitting Coach, like what you see in MLB.

There are not job titles in baseball like there are in football.
Each coach is typically assigned a defensive group to work with.
On offense, while nobody is listed as hitting coach, typically all of the coaches of a college baseball team, with the exception of the pitching coach, will work with hitters.
I would expect that Monte, Lecroy, Starbuck, and Will Lamb are all working with hitters this season.

so, i guess the yankees and red sox should suck at pitching. they are from the north. what an ignorant statement. the guy that beat us yesterday also beat lewisville last week. boy do they suck. the nd pitcher that beat us on friday is also very good. bc has 2 excellent freshman. the pitcher and center fielder. there are many reasons kids pick schools. good pitching almost always beats good hitting. we have very good pitching, hence why we win a lot of games.

Not taking sides but your Yankees Red Sox argument is dumb. He’s referring to yankee college teams. All those teams up there suck. Literally every one. Name me 1 good consistent Northeast program. You can’t just bring pro teams into the argument. That’s all

You know that dude only reply’s something ignorant most of the time anyway.
It’s like he lurks all day just to show up in threads like this.
The sad part is he is dead serious now

To follow what deroberts said below.
Monte is both the head coach and the hitting coach.
I'm not sure you will find a head coach in the conference or maybe in the country who is as invested in researching and learning about hitting and working with hitters as Monte.
Whatever philosophy is being taught on a daily basis by the other assistants comes directly from what Monte is teaching.
The issue with our up and down bats this season has been the 3-4 freshman in the lineup each game.
While most of the freshman hitters who have been playing frequently are having pretty good seasons so far, a pitchers who can change speeds and locations can really give young hitters problems on a given day.
I think that is exactly what has happened the last two weekends for the games where Clemson has struggled to score runs.

Clemson doesn't get beat...just choose to lose. Yeah, right.
A little credit to the opposition is due...those kids play their hearts out, too, just like the Tigers.

While I do give credit to the opposing pitchers the last two weekends, I do feel that if both teams play well then the better team is going to win.
It takes a slightly open door from a good team for a lesser team to take a game from them.
I feel the youth in Clemson's lineup is a door that is sometimes left slightly open which is letting lesser teams steal wins from us.
On the other hand, good pitching beats good hitting and I believe our Tigers are still undefeated when scoring 5 runs or more. That means our pitching has been doing well enough to give us a chance to win almost every game.
We have just run into a few pitchers that were going to win whatever game they pitched that day.

The last part of your statement is false. Sometimes we make a pitcher look great. The pitcher can throw 88 with no location and we still can’t hit it. Don’t tell me that mediocre pitching with mediocre velocity is going to get it done “on that day” versus anybody. We make bad pitchers look good the way scars 2014 defense made every QB look like a heisman trophy winner
