LSU is tied for 5th in the SEC in homeruns and is tied for 3rd in the SEC in batting average. We're also tied with S Carolina for striking out the fewest times in the SEC.

Even with all of our perceived hitting woes that seems like a decent "mix of speed and power." Not great, but not terrible either...
