Missed it but the UW game 1 victory was his 150th win. He's now 151-73 (67.4%). That makes him one of the most winning coaches over 200 games in a head coaching job right now.
I think it's safe to say Mitch is a solid hire but still has work to do!

What was Casey's NC and Conf record? Sorry id figure it out but I've got all the kids today. Casey was 64-25 in the postseason. A fairly absurd postseason record if you ask me.
Only thing MC hasn't done so far as the Beavs HC is win the conference and make it to Omaha. I'll give him a pass on not winning a NC so far  |

It has been a really choppy five years because of things outside the current coach's control.
2020, first year head coach coming off of an entire 2019 of having an interm head coach. The 2019 "interm" situation created all kinds of potentially negative consequences that Mitch seemed to work through. The team competed well in Ft Worth and was just a few bad innings in the final from advancing.
2021. Covid
2022 Covid Hangover, hosted Super and in the end couldn't handle the Auburn pitching at plate in deciding game. Outstanding season that came up just a bit short.
2023. Team continued to develop offensively but just didn't get enough on the mound. Injuries played a part. Recieved quite an NCAA gift when sent to the LSU regional. Competed well in that regional.
2024. Has developed quite the lineup at the plate. It would appear they have put a system in place that creates substantial development of players talents for those who put in the work. Could have a player go top 5 in the draft. Will help recruiting. Pitching still a bit of question mark.
Whatever the staff is doing to develop the talent at the plate is long term legacy kind of stuff. Very impressive on the field and it must be attractive to recruits. Now if they can do the same with the pitching, look out!
Mitch has done a great job in some adverse conditions.

Great post Chevy. Following up a legend that built something great is not easy. Doing so and then sticking around when eye balls start to notice is also a true gift.
Mitch will always stand on PC shoulders but the program is truly his. Nothing is what it used to be with defense sloppier, pitching rougher and hitting for power. Considering our entire infield turned over except Baz and Smith the fielding issues seem to just be a bad year situation and it has been improving 21 total errors with 17 in 17 for NC and 4 in 5 Conf. Caraway also leads the team with 6.
Earlier in the season there was so e worry that we are just gorilla ball now but I'm not seeing it. Hell Baz got on with a bunt yesterday and we moved runners with sacs and steals. What I'm seeing is a natural evolution of baseball and the program. The talent and level of athlete just lends itself to being able to focus on power in the AB. I don't think Par would have complained about a lack of small ball when his team was averaging nearly 2 HR a game and smacked UW for 10 doubles. I think he would complain if his team didn't have the fundamentals of base running and moving players to scoring position but I'm not seeing an inability to do that.
If I had to give Mitch a leg up in anything it's recruiting and development. Ofc he can recruit at a high level because of what Casey built but he has taken that and elevated it. Using modern training analytics we are. Consistently seeing talented players cone in and become special. We are also consistently seeing players improve their draft stock over high school. Next year will be a big moment if Turley secures himself a legit 1st round pick and a huge recruiting tool. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Mundt is the last Bailey/PC recruit and I don't see a catastrophic drop off in talent. I know pitching hasn't been what we are accustomed too but I have high hopes that will change with a new generation of arms that enjoy our program the next 4 seasons. Segura, Decreamer, Palmer, Jimenez, Hutch, and Keljo look like a very solid core of non-transfer talents.

I think it's safe to say Mitch is a solid hire but still has work to do! Unfortunately for Mitch he is the guy who followed the greatest coach ever for OSU. Kind of like they guy who followed John Wooden. Or following Nick Saban. As you state, he's one of the winningest coaches right now. Unfortunately, expectations at OSU(for most fans I believe) are CWS or it's a failed season. |

Kind of like they guy who followed John Wooden. Or following Nick Saban. As you state, he's one of the winningest coaches right now. Unfortunately, expectations at OSU(for most fans I believe) are CWS or it's a failed season. He has some big milestones to beat and frankly he doesn't need to. Casey is going to be GOAT and Mitch would probably have to win like double the National Championships before people would unanimously agree. That said he's already proven to be a capable and good coach. To be great we need to get to the CWS. To be a legend he needs some National titles and consistently get us to the CWS twice a decade at a minimum. Frankly I doubt Mitch cares and is going to keep up the work. At the end of the day the best coaches aren't focused on legacy they are focused on the work of developing world class athletes and helping to guide the boys into being men. CWS or fail is pretty ambitious. To me the expectation is post season but just from random observation fans want to host a regional and make it to supers every year. Expecting a CWS every year is nuts even for the best funded highest tradition teams. 18 teams have made it to the CWS 10 or more times since 1947. In the modern era (let's say 1989) the most consecutive births is LSU 1989-1991, LSU 1996-1998, Miami 1997-1999, Florida State 1998-2000, Stanford 2001-2003, Texas 2002-2005, OSU 2005-2007, N.Car 2006-2009, S. Carolina & Florida 2010-2012, TCU 2015-2017, Florida 2015-2018, Mississippi State 2018-2021, Stanford 2021-2023. So since 1989 Texas, North Carolina and Florida have had 4 consecutive CWS. Notice there are some huge programs not on that list like Oklahoma, Vandy, Arkansas, Fullerton, and Virginia. Sustained success past a great coach is extremely hard and we are very lucky to have it. Arkansas is probably going to hit that cycle soon so I hope they are enjoying the party. |

I know Mason G committed to Bailey/PC pretty early in his high school career. Wouldn’t surprise me that a few others from that class were recruited by Bailey/PC and then sealed by Mitch. Regardless, your point holds. |

definitely several. I think at least one Andy Jenkins guy as well. Also a thanks to Marty Lees for sending Bridger Holmes to the Beavers(per Mike Parker).

I believe Bazzana is here because of Coach Dorman's friend and former MiLB teammate at Class A Appleton, WI. who pitched for the M's and runs the NextGen baseball schools in Australia.
Bailey would have had to been in contact with Bazzana in 2019 or prior. Mitch took over in 2020 and Bazzana signed with OSU in 2022.
FWIW: OSU commits, Oscar Hyde (class of '24) and Josh Nati (class of '26) are also NextGen prospects.

Regardless, your point holds. Bazzana is also here because of Bailey. BAZ was on the National Aussie U16 team that played in tournaments in AZ and CA one summer. Bailey spotted him...he was sold on Travis when he saw him score from 2nd on a wild pitch. Bailey said, "He played at full speed, all the time". |
