Fangraphs just added college data. So the answer to when college baseball can get this stuff funnily enough is yesterday https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/college https://blogs.fangraphs.com/weve-got-college-data/

NP. Frankly speaking, I didn't really care enough to figure out why they are multiplying home runs by 1.4 to calculate LOB%. A lot easier to duplicate someone else's work than to spend the time to figure out why they are doing something. It's really more of a pitcher stat so I imagine the 1.4 is...

I tried to find it the other day and had a hell of a time finding college stats. So I just calculated it myself. Took 3 minutes with excel. Here's the formula LOB% = (H+BB+HBP-R)/(H+BB+HBP-(1.4*HR)) Here's where I pulled the stats 2025 Southeastern Conference | Baseball-Reference.com Here's...

We have high LOB because we have a lot of base runners. Tennessee has the best LOB% in the SEC.

Having Ron Washington as your coach when your biggest flaw is infield defense and drafted to an organization known for aggressively promoting college bats. You're right, really wasn't a better spot for him to be drafted to just from a personal development point.

He definitely has improved since coming to UT, but his peripherals were there. That's what is most important when judging a baseball player's future potential on. The college season is so short that ERA can be deceiving.

That doesn't really mean anything to Vol fans since Littrell was fired half way through the season.

No idea why they are doing with them as #11 in the polls, but Net Rankings are just a different type of efficiency metric they use to determine the quadrant system. There is a strong correlation, but tournament seeding is ultimately based off the resume. UConn was #2 in NET last year and was a...

Appreciate the info. You know, I even tried to check and make sure before posting and couldn't find anything on the NCAA.com site. Didn't think to check .org site.

Richmond was at a neutral site so still a Q1 win. MTSU was a Q2. Quadrant 1: Home 1-30, Neutral 1-50, Away 1-75 Quadrant 2: Home 31-75, Neutral 51-100, Away 76-13 Quadrant 3: Home 76-160, Neutral 101-200, Away 135-240 Quadrant 4: Home 161-353, Neutral 201-353, Away 241-353...

Kentucky isn't that impressive of a home environment. They have better crowds at the SEC tournament then they do at Rupp. People that complain about the bluehairs at TBA would have a stroke following Kentucky.

Some people really struggle with the no news is good news concept.

Why wouldn't you want an A&M win? Texas has played no one and Tennessee would pass a 10-2 Texas. That would also get a home playoff game.

Individual player ratings don't matter. A 3star can be an NFL talent, and a 5 star can never play a down. It's the team overall rankings that matter. That being said, recruiting services should still make best effort to rate players appropriately.
