No. 2 FSU batters Not Showing Patience Hitting
This issue reared its ugly head in the final game of the regional against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Noles walked a ton, and had runners on base nearly every inning, but failed to show patience at the plate and chased several more ball fours out of the strike zone for strikeouts.
The Noles must show patience at the plate and not become too aggressive. Max Williams and Alex Lodise are two of FSU's best hitters but were largely ineffective because they went out of the strike zone too much.
Oregon State plays solid defense, and their pitchers can pile up the strikeouts (on paper). If FSU goes cold at the plate and Oregon State manages to score three or four runs, it could be tough to overcome on the road.
