97. A Messy Postseason, The Velocity Lie & Too Many Homers: Leaving vs. Loyalty in Softball feat. Rick Pauly
<p>Rob Crews and master pitching coach Rick Pauly pull no punches on the current state of college softball. From backdoor transfer portal deals and the culture of "leavers" to a full breakdown of the 2026 Women's College World Series — nothing is off limits. They examine why loyalty is disappearing from the sport, why colleges aren't developing players (and never really claimed to), and why too many home runs this postseason is a pitching problem, not a hitting achievement. Rob introduces the concept of "visual cache" and vertical bat angle as the keys to hitting the low rise ball, and Rick sounds off on the velocity obsession that's broken softball pitching from the private sector up. Plus: the all-time pitchers debate, the home run record chase, and a tease of Rick's developing nervous system/pulsing concept. No fluff. No spin. Just real talk.</p>
