SEC Baseball POY

[Carbaryl]

Still way early but at this point Rooker has to be the leader for SEC POY.Going into tonight here is how his stats stack up in the SEC.

First in batting average
Third in hits
First in rbi's
First in doubles
Tied for first in hr's
First in total bases
First in stolen bases

To date, one of the best seasons in MSU history. Has anyone won the triple crown since Palmeiro?

To add a little more perspective:

His batting avg is 20 points higher than the guy in second, who happens to be mangum...

He leads slugging % with a .885. The guy in second is .684....

He's also leading the SEC in on base %

He's tied for second in triples as well

His total bases stat: He has 85. Second place is 69

I will also throw in the fact that he only has 1 error despite us playing in a position that is not his true position a lot of the time.

Slight hijack, is it fair to say had we stayed healthy this year that this team

would have been pretty damn respectable?

 

[HD6]

There's no question. Pitching wise, I would be willing to say we'd have at least 3-4 more wins.

 

[msudawg12]

definitely so. our diminished offense can still hang with anyone. If we just had enough depth to get serviceable innings and hold every game below 5 runs, we'd have a shot

We may end up in a Regional even with all the injuries. Without them I think we could've been in the hosting discussion.

I don't believe so. Todd Helton is the only other possibility for TN. I know he came down to the very end but I thought he didn't end up leading in one category at the end.

 

[maroonmania]

Its a shame to think what our lineup could have been if Kruger would have stayed another year. Would have added another big bat to our offense and helped solidify the catching position. And he signed pro the last week you could do so if I remember correctly.

Has anyone ever led the SEC in both home runs & stolen bases?

 

[Carbaryl]

We actually stack up pretty high in the SEC on the offensive end,it's the pitching that is near the bottom of the league.(No shocker to anyone)

Is that for ALL games or just SEC contests?

Edited to add: this Thursday thru Saturday will tell a lot about our team.

This thread reminds me of the sweet sixteen thread that started after we beat, you guessed it, Tennessee.

 

[Carbaryl]

You can't really be forming thoughts on just SEC games since there have only been 6 of them played.

But as of right now we're the #2 hitting team in the SEC.The surprising thing is Ole Miss has darn near the same ERA as we do,but it's way early SEC wise.We also have three hitters in the top 10 right now(Rooker,Mangum,MacNamee).

 

[bulldogcountry1]

As good as Rooker, Mangum, and Gridley have been, you have to give a lot of credit to the rest of the lineup for stepping up and being productive recently.

I would think Reed from UK was close a couple years ago. He had a **** ton of HRs and RBI's. Would think LSU had some get close when they were playing roid ball too. Seriously doubt anyone has had the most HRs and SBs in the same year though that is impressive!
