OFFENSE
.309 BA - 23rd nationally, 3rd in the SEC
.343 OBP - 10th, 2nd
.574 SLG - 5th, 2nd
384 Runs - 11th, 2nd
9.4 Runs/G - 5th, 2nd
253 Walks - 12th, 2nd
2.12 Home Runs/G - 3rd, 2nd

PITCHING
4.50 ERA - 45th, 10th
1.31 WHIP - 26th, 8th
3.32 SO/BB - 7th, 6th
9.2 SO/9 - 66th, 15th
9.03 Hits/G - 87th, 16th
2.77 Walks/G - 3rd, 2nd

It's crazy how high we rank yet don't lead the conference in anything except Winning % - 0.805 (4th nationally).

ATTENDANCE
5,932 - 9th, 9th

This is down from the last two years of 6,076 and 6,431.

Not to split hairs, but I think the numbers that matter at this point in the season are conference stats. Your larger point (our stats aren't stellar, but we keep winning) is completely valid. Our opponent's ERA does jump out at me.

Miami Hurricanes were 50th in Offensive ypg and 5th in 12th in Defensive ypg

Behind both Indiana and tOSU (who led the league in fewest ypg).

You play who is in front of you, not who your opponents played.

That is not my point. We are arguably the second-best offense in all of baseball. That is extremely stellar.

If you make the blind assumption that being the 2nd best offense in the SEC makes you the 2nd best offense in the country, then yes. And that's ignoring how much softer our non-conference schedule is than some of the other SEC schools.

I think it's more accurate to look at this team as one that's being outhit in conference play by three points but has still managed a 12-5 record.

Lets look at the Top4 SEC team's OOC SoS

UGA #242
Ags #182
tu #121
MSST #149

To say ours is "softer" is really a semantic argument. Yes there are those like Auburn at 12th. But its not like we are targeting Q4 opponents to make our record appear stronger than reality, which is why our SEC record is the proof in the pudding at this time. Being in the RPI #1 conference lends to the idea that "2nd best SEC offense is 2nd best offense in country." If the "statistically" #1 offense in the country is playing against "#4 best conference"'s pitching, weekend (sic) and week out, I think its worth saying their stats are skewed.

Its like the Big12 from 2010-2020 in FB, 40-70 point football games all year, then they play an OOC bowl game with a team that has a defense with a pulse and they only score 20-35 points.

Hitting differences that are interesting: runs, RBI, walks

Pitching differences that are interesting: runs, walks


We are walking, and not giving up walks. Also hitting when it counts, while holding the opponent down here. Would be interesting to see what BA w/RISP splits are.

There is no blind assumption.

If you'd like to look at SEC-only stats, they actually make the case that we're the best offense in the SEC.

175 Runs, 1st in the SEC. The gap between 1st and 2nd is larger than the gap between 2nd and 7th.
.407 OBP, 1st. Again, the gap between 1st and 2nd is about as large as the gap between 2nd and 8th.
.537 SLG, 1st, AGAIN, the gap between 1st and 2nd is larger than the gap between 2nd and 4th.

I (sort of) found what I was looking for. The SEC has sec-only stats (not all schools do) online. Unfortunately, I'm interested in OPS, and OBP is completely messed up here.

I did sort by slugging, and we're LOTS BETTER (38 points) in conference play than anyone else. We even have one more HR than UGa, and their park has a much more hitter-friendly rep than Olsen.

EDIT - We've also scored 26 more runs than anyone else (a differential of more than one run per game), and that's with us having missed 1 of 21 games.

I would think we've had a pretty significant effect on our opponents' ERAs. The numbers I would like to see are each team's ERA before and after playing us.

I think our pitching has improved. I think it might be skewed from earlier in the season.

Pitching does seem to have improved. But we have very little reliable depth and that is needed for teams that make deep runs in the postseason. Now, if Sdao can somehow figure it out, we may have something. We'll need him to get through 6, preferably 7, in the postseason.

We know Sdao has the arm. Is he just missing pitches. Or is he missing calls from Bear/coaches?

Here are current conference-only pitching stats. Opponents are hitting .286 against us (OUCH), and we're 11th in staff ERA. On the other hand, we're tied for 5th in total runs allowed. I assume this is because we aren't allowing many unearned runs.

All I know is that Sdao seems to get hit harder than anyone else in the team when he has two strikes.

Having deep bullpens is a luxury, not a requirement.

If you look at 2024 as an example, Ashenbeck, Cortez, and Stewart outside of Game 2 vs Oregon were the only relievers to get high leverage innings in the post season until Game 2 of the CWS finals. 2 starters and 3 relief pitchers essentially got you all the way to the finals.

Game 2 of the SR used a ton of RPs and it showed. The offense had to put up 10+ runs to win that game.

Our bullpen depth isn't ideal, but if Darden or Cunningham can step up and give us a solid 3rd RP, we will be okay if we keep swinging it like we have been.

The way this team is constructed, if the bats go cold, it won't matter how many pitchers we have or don't have.
