LSU Baseball Stat of the Week - Average w/ RISP
Posted on 2/26/13 at 8:18 am
Posted on 2/26/13 at 8:18 am
Did a little digging and I came up with these numbers for our hitters w/ RISP (Runners in Scoring Position).
Chris Sciambra - .000 - 0/1 - 1 RBI
Mark Laird - .143 - 1/7 - 1 RBI
Alex Bregman - .400 - 4/10 - 5 RBI
Raph Rhymes - .364 - 4/11 - 6 RBI
Mason Katz - .500 - 5/10 - 9 RBI
Jacoby Jones - .333 - 2/6 - 3 RBI
Ty Ross - .400 - 2/5 - 4 RBI
Alex Edward - .500 - 2/4 - 2 RBI
Tyler Moore - .167 - 1/6 - 2 RBI
Christian Ibarra - .400 - 2/5 - 3 RBI
Andrew Stevenson - .667 - 2/3 - 2 RBI
Sean McMullen - .500 - 1/2 - 1 RBI
Chris Chinea - .000 - 0/1 - 0 RBI
Casey Yocum - .500 - 1/2 - 1 RBI
Team Totals: .370 - 27/73 - 40 RBI
Very impressive stats to be hitting .370 w/ RISP. With numbers like this, I will not be questioning the decision to bunt Laird to get Sciambra to second anymore. The 3-4-5 hitters are a combined 13/31 with 20 RBI w/ RISP.
I'll be updating these numbers throughout the season.

these are good

What is the stat for # of runs scored following a sac bunt attempt?
I know in the loss vs BYU we were 0-3 on executing the sacrifice, and then scoring a run. The irony is that we actually scored in the first after popping up a sac bunt.

This actually would be a number I am interested in. Maybe I'll try to dig that up later on too.

if you checked that last year it would be in the .100s that was the thing we lacked was the timely hitting.

Great pinch-hitting.

The SEC didn't do much editing on these stats. Page 15 is very jacked up.

That doesn't make any sense, unless you are just giving up on Laird as having any chance of being a good hitter with RISP, in which case he shouldn't be batting 2nd. He probably shouldn't be batting 2nd anyway, but whatever...

How does it not make sense?
If Laird bunts Sciambra to second, then Laird is not batting with a man in scoring position. It means that Sciambra was on first.
It gives the guys in the middle of the order that are 13/31 a chance with a man in scoring position.
That says nothing about Laird's ability to hit the ball with men in scoring position.

Yep. Sounds about right.
About 9 times out of 10 when you hear the old "timely hitting" rationale thrown out in baseball, it's complete bunk.
There is something to be said for Bertman-style visualization techniques and getting in the zone for clutch hits in peak moments, but overall, the numbers generally average out to about what you would expect.
Your hitting with RISP should be significantly better than you hitting without RISP, for a variety of reasons, but rarely can a team's fortunes for a season be chalked up to "timely hitting." Almost always, it isn't a significant factor.

So why give up an out if you have 3 people who are that good at hitting? Why kill your chance at a big inning when your 3-4-5 batters are that good. It makes no sense. If anything, it's a reason to sac bunt less often, unless you happened to be in a tie game in the bottom of the last inning.

Makes perfect sense to me. 3-4-5 hitters are getting a base hit 42% of the time when there is a man in scoring position. I like getting 2 chances for a hit with a man on second and one out.
I'm not saying this NEEDS to be done in the top of the first inning, but I am saying it doesn't look like quite as questionable of a decision to me when the 3-4 hitters are lighting it up with men in scoring position (which they are supposed to be doing).
Also, the job of the 2 hole hitter is NOT to produce runs. Typically it is just someone who can handle the bat and move runners over and set the table for the run producers behind him.
