    SEC Only Stats Thru 5/16

    http://a.espncdn.com/sec/baseball/2021/seconly.pdf

    So, while this weekend did not go as planned, the SEC only stats show some interesting things about where we are and how our concerns compare to the league:

    Offense
    6th in AVG at .266 (4th in overall at .283) - this has continually improved over the season - no one is over .300 in league play
    6th in OBP at .359
    6th in RS at 156
    7th in Hits at 247
    11th in HR with 30 - but, the #4 team only has 36 - the league has tightened in HR
    1st in fewest K's at 196 - still not striking out, but not hitting lots of XBH

    Pitching
    5th in ERA at 4.53 - no team is under 4.00 in league play
    3rd in OBA at .239
    1st in Innings Pitched at 244.1
    1st in K's at 325
    Tied for 1st in Saves at 10
    3rd in fewest hits allowed at 223
    3rd Most Walks allowed at 117 - span from 3rd to 7th is only 9 BB

    Fielding
    14th in Fielding % at .970 - that's bad, no other way to put it - but no one in SEC is above .983 - fielding has gotten pretty bad in league play. Interestingly, our Fielding % in 2019 was .971 with 32 E's - so we seem to be continuing a trend
    1st in Errors at 29 - the spread from 1st to 8th is 5 errors - so there is a lot of bad fielding going around
    3rd in DP's turned at 24

    The stats reflect our concerns - middling offense, pitching down some vs. early season, and bad fielding.
    But - Just to compare the SEC to 2019 - 2 team finished over .300 (none are there currently); 3 teams had ERA's under 4.00 (none currently), lots of bad fielding
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Looking at that fielding % makes you appreciate we lead the sec in Ks. God help us if teams were putting the ball in play a lot
