They must have prepared him well for Zach to be hitting 0.420.2nd Generation Ag said:

Zach DeLoach, OF, Texas A&M (Falmouth Commodores)
DeLoach had a nice freshman campaign for the Aggies in 2018, hitting .264 with 18 extra base hits, before taking a step backward in 2019. He just never got it going this season after an impressive summer, hitting just .200 with a .612 OPS. But DeLoach is tearing up the CCBL, with hits in nine of his last ten games. He's currently leading the league with a .400 batting average over his first 60 at-bats and put up his first two-home run game of the summer on July 9.

Lots of guys perform better when they're slumming, don't have to do schoolwork, or face SEC pitching. It's fun to play exhibition baseball for a few months, get out of the heat, and get away from the coaches and teammates. Has nothing to do with the next season... Just a nice diversion.

And for some reason, Bolt just became a head coach.themissinglink said:
More evidence that it wasn't just offensive talent that was lacking last year. Bolt was part of the problem.

It's not SEC Pitching that he's facing game in and game out. Glad that he's found his stroke, but we've had a good number of players tear it up in the Cape Cod and they come back to earth when they put on the Maroon & White and play in the SEC. Hope this can carry over as I hate to be negative.

The Cape is littered with high end SEC, PAC-12, and ACC talent. Let's not act like he's beating up on crappy pitching. Some of the top pitchers play for team USA but leading the league in hitting is no small accomplishment. Looking at the starting pitcher for the last 5 games he's played in, he's faced:cypress-ag said:

Someone would have to ask him what changed. But he is facing good pitching on a daily basis.
Nice notes about who he's faced. I'm hoping he can bring this back to Aggieland. We've had many guys tear up the Cape and come back to earth when the get back to Olsen. Maybe it's an indication in his AB approach that he doesn't get to use in College Station.themissinglink said:The Cape is littered with high end SEC, PAC-12, and ACC talent.

Andy Sawyers' last year at A&M was 2014. You are telling me that he ruined DeLoach's swing when DeLoach was a freshman in high school?PearlJammin said:
Face it. The coaches didn't do anything for him and basically screwed his swing/mechanics up for a year. Good riddance sawdog.
