    Being unable to hit soft-tossing lefties is a Gator tradition

    He's mixing speeds really well and just has our guys off balance. Their timing seems off and that can't square up a fastball. There's a reason he has an ERA under 3.00.
    And I hope we have a couple of guys warming up.

    Most LHP have a good idea about pitching vs throwing. That said they work with less velocity and locate while our hitters don’t adjust and stay in pull mode like they’re facing 95+.

    The preferred approach for me at least is cut the plate in half (in and away) then #1 realize he can’t beat you with his fastball velocity and #2 hit it where it’s pitched.

    At least it was limited damage
    Now it's time to solve this left handed soft throwing pitcher and get some runs in

    Langford is the best left fielder I’ve ever seen at UF . It ain’t close , and I’ve seen most of them
