I follow a lot of baseball teams other than USM, I really feel that this year's team is really similar to the 2015 Illinois team. They both won record number of games, could put on a hitting clinic, and had adequate pitching, all played similar types of competition. They also failed to win when it counted most. That being said I believe we can be successful in conference, but must have a little more pitching depth. Debate...
