this team is shitty at manufacturing runs. most of this is our terrible bunting skills but also our inability to hit sac flies.

You might want to re-think your opinion.

LSU leads the SEC in sac flies in conference games with 11. No other SEC team is in double figures.

In SEC games only LSU is first in the conference at batting in a runner from third base when there are less than two outs in the inning.

In 73 opportunities in that situation, LSU has batted in the runner (for an RBI) on third base 51 times for a success rate of 69.9%.

Texas A&M is a relative distant second with a success rate of 64.0%.

LSU also leads the SEC in advancing runners successfully, moving runners up one base successfully 50.7% of the time.

Arkansas is second with a success rate of 50.4% of the time. No other SEC team is above 50%.

Here's a stat that I would have lost a lot of money betting against:

LSU is best in the SEC in conference games at getting a hit with the bases loaded with a batting average with the bases loaded of .571.

In 21 opportunities with the bases load, our hitters have gotten 12 hits.

No other SEC team is batting over .500 with the bases loaded. Texas A&M is second batting .474 in that situation.
