I’ve played baseball from T-Ball through college, and I just can’t contextualize batting efficiency by OPS alone. I weigh BA and HR higher, but that’s just me.

Better lineup construction will increase production

I understand, but there are a lot of people that like to use OPS as it somewhat takes into account HR and BA. I listed this because OPS isn't listed on the LSU statistics page, whereas BA and HR are.

Milam has been getting robbed and unlucky a good bit, but at the same time stats don’t lie. He’s probably a little better than his stats say, but worse than you’d still want.

He’s hitting way too many long fly balls.

My ideal lineup:

Braswell
Pearson
White
Jones
Travinski
Frey
Bingham
Milazzo
Kling/Brown

The top two are players the rant wanted benched. 2 of the bottom 3 are players the rant wanted to never sit.

At least they still have Kling for now.

Hes making decent contact but only has warning track strength. I still think he will come around.

More line drives would help him.

Remember when everyone said Braswell would be our worst hitter come SEC?

I do like your SEC stats. The best stat page I've found is linked below...all kinds of individual hitting statistics AND also comprehensive pitching ones. All in one page and they seem to update pretty quickly too.

There are obviously many areas for improvement, but the three that stick out are:

In 6 SEC games, team batting against lefties is 0.137 which is by far last in SEC. Arky is batting 0.174 and SEC average is 0.244.

Also, SEC game batting with runners in scoring position is 0.173 for 13th (Georgia is 0.163 and SEC average is 0.277).

On the pitching side of things, opponent hitters are batting 0.351 with 2 outs (SEC average is 0.248).

That just means there is alot of luck heading lsu’s way, at least the risp and 2 out stuff.
The lefty thing is white noise at this point. Sample size is too small and 2 of those leftys are cjinte and cags. Two of the prob 3-4 leftys in the league

Understand what you mean, but it is still bad regardless of the 'luck' and pitchers faced.

If the trend continues as the sample size gets bigger, we know what that means. Of course, Arkansas has the pitching to possibly make most of LSU hitting stats stay bad for another week. And Arky is not really hitting well either so far. If they do against our pitching, then it will be a pretty obvious trend.

In summary, I know it's early, but the short-term trends are troubling.
