The Horrors:

(1) 10.62 Runs per SEC game (6.84 Average, Bama 4.96). That's with 6 or 7 run-rule games keeping things less bad. Last in the SEC
(2) 11.45 Hits per SEC game (9.32 Average, Bama 7.67). Last in the SEC
(3) 9.54 Earned Runs per SEC game (6.18 Average, Bama 4.62). Last in the SEC
(4) 2.63 HRs per SEC game (1.69 Average, Bama 1.49). Last in the SEC
(5) Left-Handed Hitters hit .323 vs MSU pitching (266 Average, Bama 207). Tied for Last in the SEC with Ole Miss.
(6) Lead-off Hitter On-Base % .443 vs MSU pitching (381 Average, Bama 373). Last in the SEC.
(7) 2-Out Hitting 302 vs MSU pitching (246 average, Bama 221). Last in the SEC.
(8) Walks, last in the SEC. We all knew that one. 6.91 to 4.97 Average (Bama 3.82)

The bright side:

Jason Jackson that's the Alabama PC. Without the glamour transfers or the 2nd best recruiting class, he had the best SEC game only pitching staff. If this dude does not get the Bama job. He is a free agent, I guess. He is also their recruiting coordinator.
I'd say the bright side was we somehow finished 27-26 with those pitching stats while also being #48 in RPI and #7 in Strength of Schedule (according to Warren Nolen). When you look at your stats I would have thought our record would be a whole lot worse.
To put that in perspective, our 2015 last in the SEC team went 24-30 (8-22), and in SEC play gave up 6 runs a game; 10.2 hits a game; 5.45 Earned runs a game; .8 HR a game; and 6.6 walks a game.
