Auburn Baseball isn’t taking anything for granted. After the 2020 spring season was canceled due to the pandemic, the Bulldogs only achieved one win in Coach Tommy Grafton’s first season as head baseball coach in 2021. So, it was back to the drawing board for Grafton, who was critical of his own mistakes last season. He thought about the way he learned the game growing up. How the focus was on the basics and making the right decisions. In his preparation, Grafton was able to pinpoint the mindset he wanted the team to adopt: a “last out” mentality.
