TENNESSEE/SEC BASEBALL STATS TO DATE

[cardvolfan]

Hi everyone. As we head into the SEC portion of the baseball schedule, I thought this comparison to date of us and our big rivals was interesting. This is very rudimentary, and yes, these are pics of my stuff from a legal pad. Not very professional, but I thought the info was interesting.

Looks like TN and LSU are the only WHIPs below 1.0 . Also find it interesting that although LSU pitching has held the batting average lower, their ERA is worse than us. Does that mean we have a better defense than LSU? (they only walked 4 more guys than us) (is it that we have a lot more strike outs?)

The innings pitched are a little skewed. LSU has less in this comparison. Main reason is Tennessee has 6 SO’s per walk and LSU 4 SO’s per walk. More walks per 9 innings for LSU would in effect raise their ERA.

Florida has a legit offense to be worried about but their pitching will end up biting them imo. Everyone has a loss, and some have at least a couple bad losses, on their résumé at this point. The East will not be a cakewalk by any means but we do have the best all-around team in the division. Hopefully it shakes out that way.

I don’t know if anyone has seen what Skenes is doing on the mound at LSU, but wow!

Yeah he’s a stud. That’s why we wanted him so badly 😂

Vols currently #55 in rpi. Predicted end of regular season, #11, without considering the post season. It’s gonna get stiff…

3 days ago we were in the hundreds, SOS not good, much brighter outlook but it’s far too early for all that junk. Give it 3 weeks.

Looks like the mid week game against Wofford will be good.

If I recall correctly, Skenes didn’t even visit. I believe Tommy White visited the day after we lost to ND. Both are studs. Can’t win them all and I’m very pleased with our big 3 transfers. Ahuna, Denton, and Merritt all seem like great fits both in the field and clubhouse.

We strike out too much at the plate. Gotta get that fixed. I do like seeing how many walks we draw though. Shows that we are patient.

Vanderbilt is on the struggle bus offensively…

Hate to see it 🤣🤣🤣

I can’t wait for our players to face him. Coming after this arrogant guy.

We're finally starting to get back to familiar territory as far as stats. As of Monday, we lead the NCAA in ERA and are top 3 in HR's.

Excited to see where we go from here, stat-wise, now that we seem to have figured out our best hitting lineups and other teams aren't feasting on weak preseason schedules.
