[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 407631, member: 944"] We have been speculating about what we have in terms of pitching and I think w enow have enough data to tell the story I am using WHIP as the one primary stat to judge our pitching. It also passes the "eye test" as being pretty accurate based on my impressions. (NB-all data below based on having pitched MORE THAN 3 innings thus far) So far we have 3 pitchers who have sub 1.00 WHIP's: Thomas 0.77 Curry 0.96 Archer 0.99 and we have three more pitchers who are sub 1.50: English 1.14 Datoc 1.23 Gibson 1.47 After that, it gets sketchy. We have one pitcher who is sub 2.00 Hughes 1.98 The rest of the staff is up there, and the numbers aren't pretty: Lee 2.53 Schniederjans 2.75 Hurter 2.78 Shirah 3.10 Chapman 3.19 It is really hard to be effective yielding more than 2.5 runners per inning pitched. And it says a TON about our staff that Hughes is our 7th most effective pitcher on the whole staff. For comparison, there are entire teams whose WHIP numbers are much better than ours. Clemson's staff WHIP was 1.21...N C State was 1.16...Auburn's was 1.19 going into last night's game....the whole depressing list is here [URL]https://www.ncaa.com/stats/baseball/d1/current/team/597[/URL] Bottom line is that once you get past our top 5 pitchers, we're a hot mess. Given how innings are rationed in college ball, those 5 pitchers can cover at most 2 games a week (unless English gets converted to a starter as [USER=322]@GTNavyNuke[/USER] has argued for. Some may have thought we had better pitching depth, but to me it absolutely looks like we are razor thin there. [/QUOTE]
