He has made it to the CWS 50% of the time since here at Texas. 2020 (covid) and 2024 (CWS hasn't happened yet).

What's possibly helping us is the number of 3 seeds the Big 12 is cranking out. Kansas State, TCU, UCF, maybe Cincy have to go places. Arkansas and A&M both have KSU and TCU so that crowds us out as a #2.

Assuming all they look at is conference statistics? There were 2-3 guys with better batting stats. Max didn’t have an error in the field while the others did. https://big12sports.com/stats.aspx?path=baseball&year=2024

I know. I was being facetious in my post and the 2020 team winning a few regional games. Pierce haters purposely don’t talk about 2020 or that pitching staff/team. It doesn’t fit the Pierce can’t develop pitchers and is always mediocre. Pierce doesn’t get credit for Hansen, Madden, Elder, etc…. 2020 was right in between a 3 year CWS appearance. The team certainly had the talent and performance to go all the way. Even this years team people shit on. Pierce can’t control injuries. Witt, Mercer, etc… but he still has a pitching staff with a top 40 team ERA with not a lot to work with. He has Duplantier back from the dead, turned an OF into a producing starting pitcher, has OHara, Grubbs and Boehm over performing…. Yes, LBJ is disappointing, but he isn’t the entire story.
