It's a new-look South Florida baseball program. After a subpar season described as "completely unacceptable'' by Coach Billy Mohl, the Bulls hope that structural and philosophical changes will prompt some more favorable results.

Mohl will now serve as the Bulls' de facto pitching coach, returning to his hands-on roots, where he helped to develop 16 draft picks and five major-leaguers at USF.

The Bulls will no longer look to get runners on base and primarily rely on a hit-or-miss home-run strategy. Instead, they will sprinkle in some dash to their bash, cranking up the running game, making things happen, even playing some small ball if needed.
