For those who followed baseball more closely than I did, what were the season highlights?
To my observation, this Stanford team played 3 high level teams all season - UCLA, Oregon State, Mississippi State. They were 2-5 vs. those teams. I think they showed in those games that they really were not at the level of those opponents.
After the excitement and unexpected success of last season which was ended prematurely in large part by Maverick Handley's injury, I had higher expectations for the Cardinal in 2019. I feel like this season was less than the sum of the parts.
