LSU Baseball 9 Spring Scrimmages Hitting and Fielding Errors Stats Including Team Totals

Data provided by ScubaTiger's box scores for all 9 scrimmages. Thanks, Scuba! 
BABIP Explained
quote:
BABIP measures a player's batting average exclusively on balls hit into the field of play, removing outcomes not affected by the opposing defense (namely home runs and strikeouts). Formula: BABIP = (H - HR)/(AB - K - HR + SF).
For example, a hitter who goes 2-for-5 with a home run and a strikeout would have a .333 BABIP. He's 1-for-3 on the balls he put in play.
BABIP can be used to provide some context when evaluating both pitchers and hitters. The major league average BABIP is typically around .300. Pitchers who have allowed a high percentage of hits on balls in play will typically regress to the mean, and vice versa.
In other words, over time, they'll see fewer (or more) balls in play fall for hits, and therefore experience better (or worse) results in terms of run prevention. The same applies for batters who have seen a high or low percentage of their balls in play drop in for hits.

Why do you keep doing the same thing BayTiger is doing?

Infield probably biggest questions this year can't wait to see what we have.

Yeah. It's been one of the biggest head scratchers of the fall/spring.
He's been the least productive bat on the team. He has kept his K numbers down this spring...but that's really all I can give him.
Hope he gets it going when the lights come on.

.100 avg isn't going to get it done for milazzo

With only 5Ks and his BABIP being so low, you can extrapolate that he is hitting the ball well just not finding the gaps. Hopefully, he will catch fire once the season starts. I'm not really worried about Pearson.

No errors from JT

To be fair the only guys likely to start striking out that much are Neal and Thompson.
And they aren’t as bad as Guidry Ruddell.

Batting averages, overall are not very good.

don't poke the bear, baw!

Anyway we can provide pitchers’ BABIP as well? Would love to see this for a few pitchers in particular.
For the hitters, looks like Jones and Kling have the best quality of contact

“Pitchers who have allowed a high percentage of hits on balls in play will TYPICALLY REGRESS TO THE MEAN, and vice versa…The same applies for batters.”
Please explain how any statistic that “will TYPICALLY REGRESS TO THE MEAN” for each player, is of any use in an analysis of that player’s competence. If typically they all regress yo the mean, then typically they will all have the same value.

Fortunately for them, this may be the best pitching staff they have to face all season.

At the major league level it's used to help explain if a pitcher's performance over a short span is likely to persist over the course of the season. It's essentially trying to quantify "luck."
At every level below the majors, it's less a measure of laean.nd more a measure of skill. The lower the level, the less luck and more skill (for the most part).
From a college standpoint, I use BABIP as a rough proxy to see if a pitcher might be inducing weak contact or if a hitter might be hitting the ball harder than his peers.

To a certain degree you can use BABIP to measure how well a player is playing in relation to their expected stats. So if a pitcher has a high BABIP, you might expect them to regress to their expected batting average.
For instance, Alex Cobb, a SP for the Giants. He has nasty stuff and induces a lot of week contact but gets BABIP’d to death in a lot of starts because a lot of those balls find open field.

You don’t think the additional detail he’s providing is useful? The detail on XBHs and slugging is particularly valuable.
