The Schoch Factor

Stephen Schoch, Jake Mintz, and Jordan Shusterman finish up their season preview series with a broad look at mid-major baseball.

Stephen Schoch (@bigdonkey47), Jake Mintz, and Jordan Shusterman (@CespedesBBQ) preview the SEC and explain in basic terms why it is extremely fair to declare that it does indeed Mean More. 

Next, they discuss the biggest storylines for the SEC in 2023. How will the juggernauts in Tennessee and LSU perform? Can old powerhouses like South Carolina get back in the mix? What is different about Florida's fan atmosphere than the other SEC schools? 

They then discuss some of their favorite main characters before finishing with various superlatives, from Most Unfinished Business to Coach You'd Want to Play For and more!
