The bar hasn't moved, the Big 12 seems like pitching across the board is just not very good. Would you say a 5.01 ERA is good or mediocre?
It is probably mediocre but not far from good, relative to what’s out there. I don’t think we will see great pitching again across the country. I’d expect the great pitchers to be spread out over different teams. The top 10 or so will clearly be better than the rest but great rotations with bullpen depth will be hard to come by.
Throughout the country teams are getting lit up. From a numbers perspective Wake looks to be way better than anyone else.
What will be interesting is to see whether NIL impacts high schoolers who start going to college over professional. That would be the hope for pitching.
I don’t think the bar has been moved in fans minds. But maybe it should be.
