SEC Pitching Stats - 2013

[messageboardsuperhero]

To distract us from the constant Mullen talk for a little while, let's look at where we stacked up pitching-wise in the SEC last year.

	ERA	WHIP	FIP	K/9 IP	K/BB
Arkansas	1.89	1.11	2.98	7.84	2.45
LSU	2.41	1.06	2.83	7.32	2.95
Vandy	2.76	1.22	3.19	7.85	2.02
MSU	2.77	1.19	2.94	8.26	2.46
USCe	3.02	1.22	2.67	7.78	3.30
UM	3.07	1.31	3.47	6.96	1.96
Auburn	3.40	1.31	3.61	5.81	1.68
A&M	3.43	1.33	3.31	6.66	2.35
UK	3.58	1.33	3.35	6.78	2.60
UA	3.70	1.40	3.57	6.88	1.69
Mizzou	3.87	1.45	3.66	7.00	2.25
UF	3.92	1.31	3.60	6.89	2.19
UGA	4.54	1.46	3.66	6.39	1.63
UT	5.37	1.53	4.15	6.30	1.70

What do I see in this?

For as much pub as Arkansas's staff got (which was deserved), LSU's was almost as good. They also return Nola (absolute stud), Glenn (solid but I think he's overrated), and most of their pen, so they'll be damn tough pitching-wise this year. USCe, Vandy, and us were all somewhat close together in the 3-5 spots in no particular order. We did create more swing and miss than pretty much every other team, which is great. I expect us to continue that.

UM was very mediocre outside of Wahl. They need Ellis and Buchanan to be healthy and have big years.

I really wish we could have played UT.
