What's this?

That's absolutely true, but I go back to a point in my Clemson summary...


Since Coach D'Amour moved to the dugout (the Miami game), VT's hitters have blown up.

"After the Ohio State game, Virginia Tech was hitting .247 as a team so D’Amour decided to try coaching from the dugout instead of from the third base coaching box. The results have been noticeable as the Hokies have a team batting average of .329 in the six games since the change."

That average is now .365 after last night.

“As the hitting coach, I feel like I can make more of an impact in the dugout,“ said D’Amour. “I can talk approach and give hitters cues that are specific to them without having to shout from the coaching box. The hitting coach should be with their hitters during the game. In addition, we have a lot of pinch hitting and running options on the team and it’s a little easier to manage that in the dugout.”
