733 K in 66 games is 11.1 strikeouts per game

798 K in 71 games (2023) is 11.2 strikeouts per game

Crazy how similar that is when you factor in Skenes had eleventy billion strikeouts in 2023 for us

They were all extremely different tho.

In 2022, Kelly had the least amount of talent in that group, so imo I was most impressed with him. Skenes propped up the staff in 2023, which was discussed plenty. Yeskie probably had the deepest room of all those guys, which probably should’ve led to some better results.

All 3 years they had approximately 3.5 strikeouts to walks ratio.

2022 - 3.6 K/BB
2023 - 3.3
2024 - 3.6

Starting pitching wasn’t good in 2022 but you had some dudes in the bullpen that were pretty good.

Interesting. I'd say it would be more interesting to see how we do in Year 2 of Yeskie, but the staff is gonna be almost completely different, so he'll be working with most guys for the 1st time again this year. Only a handful of guys that will wind up being the guys we count on will have been here last year, making this the 2nd year Yeskie has had them. But we'll get to see how Anderson develops, hopefully Herring as a starter, maybe Loer, and a couple of other guys that we didn't see much of this year but stick around.

hate when people do this shite. Take out any teams best pitcher and you can say their team stats are “elevated.”

The ERA stats are not fully meaningful without the context of the average ERA in the country for that year.

ERA on its own doesn't say a whole lot if you don't know the run environment.

99% of the time I agree with this statement. Your point still stands and you’re correct, but Skenes is still an outlier. Replace Skenes numbers with our next best from the past 4 years and I bet it looks a good bit different.

Exactly. A 4.35 staff ERA this year was pretty damn good considering the amount of offense across the board in CBB

Looking at the median ERA team on NCAA's website each year it's:

2024 - 6.02/6.03 (295 teams, looked at teams 147/148)
2023 - 5.95 (295 teams, again looked at teams 147/148)
2022 - 5.68 (293 teams, looked at teams 146/147)


So pretty close last 2 years but 2022 definitely brings down the 2022 number significance a bit.

A 4.32 ERA in 2022 would be more like a 4.58 ERA in 2024.

I think things would look better if JJ would just commit to a Sunday rotation. Not saying I know more ball than a guy who made 3 trips to Omaha, but that appears to be the glaring let down of his pitching staff right now. Commit to a guy and let him develop over the course of the season.

National ranks per year is probably more useful here than the raw data


ETA: clearly others beat me to it

In the SEC were:

6th in BA
6th in slugging
7th in OBP
5th in total bases
5th in RBIs

5th in ERA
3rd in Opp BA
1st in strikeouts
7th in hits allowed
11th in walks allowed

7th in fielding pct


We really were about the 5th or 6th best team in the conference but just weren't clutch at the end of a few games. Still finished T7th, and likely should've been a bit better.

Our conference was pretty fricking absurd this season.

For '24, I think he tentatively slotted Holman, Jump, and Hurd as weekend starters. But Hurd stumbled and seemed like everyone we tried struggled.

ETA: I agree with your thought though and perhaps using the midweek games as an opportunity to develop a 4th starter as opposed to giving a bunch of guys reps.

We got too behind the 8 ball to develop anyone in conference play i suppose, but i wanted it to be anderson
