A&M, Ole Miss, and OU fielded .966, .972, and .972 respectively last year and were part of the final four in Omaha. Arkansas fielded .982 and nothing to show for it.

Yeah. And TAMU got a lot of breaks with seeding (OU on their side) and errors that didn’t kill then to get to the last 4 but eventually it hit them. OM was not the same Ole Miss team by then as we all know. As far as TAMU, they were also relentless with small ball baseball much like UK but not as good at fielding. They were hit a lot, hit for average, very high OB%.

They also had WAY more walks and steals than LSU with the same BA.

LSUs pitching had a better era in 2022 but the Whip and BA against is better this season. Skenes is the one difference in an inning eater and dominant guy.
