CT Bradford's senior struggles

[rugbdawg]

It's time to get a freshmens or soph in center. Bradford doesn't cut it offensively and that's where we are struggling. Bradford has the THIRD most at bats of anyone on the team. Bradford has reached his ceiling and his ceiling is very low. Let's give a young guy a look to build for the future.

.259 avg. 7th on the team.

1 run scored. Tied for 11th on the team.

.355 on base percentage. 12th on the team.

These next three stats show how bad we are offensively:

.296 slugging percentage. 6th on the team. Awful.

1 extra base hit on the year. This ties him for 4th on the team. Pitiful hitting.

4 RBIs on the team. This ties him for 2nd on the team. He has been in the 5 hole a lot and has been wasting a ton of opportunities. This number should actually be much, much higher.

The problem is, who do we have right now that's any better? Vickerson and Henderson will be our corner outfielders in most games, but I don't know any other outfielder we have right now that could replace CT.

I think Robson should be getting Bradford's playing time.

Robson hasn't played particularly well in very limited appearances but his OBP is .500. He has stolen 3 bases to Bradford's 2 AND he has already scored 2 runs to Bradford's 1. Robson actually leads the team in walks with 6.

More importantly, Robson is a soph, has a higher ceiling and can FLY. He needs ABs to develop his hitting. It is clear that he has a keen eye based on his OBP.

We all know Bradford cannot get the job done. Move on.

If I'm not mistaken, Detz leads the team in walks but Robson is second..........
