Loading ...Science can explain many things. Maybe it can explain why the Cal baseball team hasn’t made the NCAA tournament since 2001.
Maybe not. But no matter how bad the team performed the last two years, the Bears hitting and pitching coaches can still explain how to perform well on the diamond.
KQED featured Dan Hubbs, the Cal pitching coach, and Jon Zuber, the Bears hitting coach, on a recent episode of “Out of the Park.”
After Hubbs and Zuber explained the mechanics of baseball to two scientists, the scientists explain the physics behind it all. How about we get those two scientists to coach Cal? Maybe the players will learn a thing or two.
But then again, both Zuber and Hubbs have coached major league talent (i.e. Brandon Morrow of the Seattle Mariners). Hubbs is also responsible for Tyson Ross and his bid on the U.S. National Team.
And while it’s nice to see Zuber and Hubbs lend their talent to educational programming, why not focus more of their knowledge on the team? Maybe they’ll start winning. Winning is fun, and it can be educational too.
