I love MLB and my son plays 15U ball now, but I have never seriously followed Cal baseball (or college baseball for that matter). However, Coach Neu seems to have the program on the right track (ah coaching again). Andrew Vaughn seems like a generational talent. But I don't know much more about the program than that.
Do we have a team capable of making a run at the Pac-12 title?
Will Brandon McIlwain play?
How is our pitching staff?
Funny but my son's varsity coach (my son plays intermediate but the coach oversees it all) is Paul Ah Yat. Apparently he pitched for Cal but transferred to Hawaii. Until last season, Sid Fernandez was the pitching coach at our school. I think he left because his son graduated or something.
Speaking of Paul Ah Yat, there is a guy named Chad Konishi, another Cal pitcher who transferred back to Hawaii. He is the athletics director of a private high school out here. He also does a lot of baseball coaching as well. Lots of Cal connections out here.
