Schloss runs the offense on gameday. It is his philosophy ruling over everything. He wholeheartedly believes that most college pitchers can’t throw strikes consistently. Us being in the top 5 nationally in pitches per plate appearance is proof his philosophy has taken hold. Tulo is the one working with the players on mechanical adjustments day to day. Same setup he had with Earley last year.
I think Schloss and Tulo are pretty aligned. If you remember that 2021 team we had where Tulo ran everything struck out a ton as well. Schloss has said openly that strikeouts don’t really bother him because his overall philosophy requires guys to be comfortable hitting with 2 strikes.
I think a lot of what we are seeing are the same guys who struggled with swing and miss last year against Big 12 pitching (Gasparino, Flores, Borba, Farmer) still having a lot of the same issues against better pitching. Which makes sense. These guys are good coaches but they ain’t miracle workers.
