Not a troll. Honest question about Arkansas batting stats. Do y’all have concerns.

Saw this on SEC Now. I did not realize that you guys are bottom 10 in the league in almost every offensive category. We all know y’all have really good top end arms. How has this team been so successful with such sub par offensive numbers? Is it all pitching or good situational hitting. I’m honestly curious because when they through out those stats I was shocked.

Good pitching beats good hitting

We tend to score more runs than the other team.
May seem like a troll response, but that's really the level of understanding we're at with this year's team. Nothing makes sense. They just win.

They have a veteran team that battles and is clutch. They produce a ton of timely hits. They play great defense and have a deep pen. DVH knows how to coach.
They actually got kind of a bad draw in their regional but they'll win

This group has no superstars, just good players playing unselfish and as a team. Our defense has been an an asset and surprise given this is a completely new group and the injuries they’ve had.
I really like this group.

quote:I mean this is the primary answer. And as average as the stats would indicate we are on offense, we’re less streaky with a bit less swing and miss than we’ve been in some prior seasons. One through seven are tough outs.
We all know y’all have really good top end arms.
And yeah defense has been really good. We lost All-Americans from last year’s infield and I haven’t noticed a difference. Just not a team that gives much away. I don’t mean this as a slight to LSU but they win in completely opposite ways.

We have played a more difficult weekend baseball series every weekend since March 10. We have won all 5 of them at home
If we lose at home against these guys, we have no one but ourselves to blame. Not saying it is impossible, but no one should be bitching about our draw. At some point you have to play someone with a pulse in this tournament

Arkansas has been in the bottom 5 in the SEC in BA three years in a row…
With that said - they take good ABs, move runners and put the ball in play when they have RISP.
Something LSU fails to do way too often.

Good defense. No bone headed plays on both sides of the ball. Timely hitting and good ABs.

Their pitchers all have GQ hair...no seriously, they play great fundamental baseball. Very few errors on the year, no base running blunders, great defense, players have huge baseball IQ's. They seem to manufacture runs when needed, by any means. They will work your star pitcher with long at bats, which seems to be a trademark of the Hogs. They may not always be the most talented on the field, but using all the above, they win. And that is all DVH. What is frustrating as an LSU fan, we usually have great talent on the field, but it can be "dumb" talent at times, getting by on sheer athleticism instead of being fundamentally sound, and that drives me nuts.

Those batting stats just won us the SEC title, which is the hardest conference in baseball. I think we’ll be okay.

Yea, not great on offense. An elite defense with only 38 errors on the season. Leads the SEC in defense.
Wegner, Bohofren, and Josenberger must get going again. Josenberger and Wegner were both hitting .340+ before their injuries. Since they’ve come back, they’ve struggled mightily. Bohofren was hitting .370+ just a few weeks back and he is on the struggle bus as well hitting around .315 now.
Pitching has been great. Believe in SEC play the Hogs led the league in ERA. Four legit starters in Smith, Hollan, Tygart, and McEntire. Backend of bullpen is sketchy as hell right now with issues going on with Wood.

Timely hitting and DVH has played some small ball to score runs at times

Truly, I have no idea how we've done it. Literally 3 of our top arms are done for the year.
