10-15 points lower is basically negligible


Not really. For one at bat, it is, but not over the course of a season. Our BA for the year was 15 points higher than the next best team in the SEC. We scored 110 more runs and got 250 more at bats than the runner up. Some of that was due to us playing more games.

If you consider half a run per game to be statistically insignificant, then you're right. I don't view half a run per game as insignificant.

In SEC play only:

against LHP: .282 (#2 in the SEC)
against RHP: .279

Overall:

against LHP: .302 (#1 in the SEC)
against RHP: .312

You really need to let this false narrative go, bud. It just doesn't have any merit this season.

You have a less than good understanding of how runs are generated. Equating batting average to runs is not good my dude. Especially when factoring in the extra games

Jumping in very late to say 10-15 “points” better just means 1-1.5% better. If that’s not negligible over the course of an entire season then I don’t know what is.

I suck at math but I’m pretty sure that’s not even an extra hit per game.
