Sounds like our recruiting was on point, we just weren't using everyone correctly. I was listening to the post game of Scott where he said the coaches were coming up to him about stealing and other decisions. There are a few takeaways from that.
Scott Jackson has established chain of command. I'm sure we could point to some coaches that let position coaches do their thing without interfering.
Position coaches are comfortable approaching Jackson about ingame adjustments. Again, I'm sure there are a few egos that can't handle someone seeing something before them.
Scott Jackson listens to his coaches when they do approach him. It may not happen every time, but knowing he is capable of hearing and applying suggested adjustments is comforting.
Scott Jackson gives credit to his coaches for their success. And unless someone has heard him blame a coach for a bad decision, he is being the textbook leader giving credit and taking blame. People will follow those kinds of leaders into war.
Just my .02. I don't watch baseball like I used to, but I know leadership when I hear it.
