OK, now one may say, "Surely those stats are padded by non conference games". Well, check out his conference only stats. Remember, MLB scouts compare SEC weekend pitching talent to that of AA. Each weekend in the SEC, a batter will face a handful of guys that have either already been drafted in the top 5 rounds, or will be:


Brent Rooker's SEC only stats(through 15 games):

-Batting Average: (.415)
-Slugging Percentage: (1.038)
-On Base Percentage: (.522)
-OPS: (1.560)
-Hits: (22)
-Doubles: (7)
-Triples: (1)
-Home Runs: (8)
-RBI: (21)
-Runs Scored: (14)
-Total Bases: (55)
-Walks: (11)



For those of you that understand the above numbers, how incredibly absurd is a slugging percentage of 1.038 through 15 SEC games?? OPS? 1.560???? Get this, through 15 SEC games, 16 of his 22 hits have gone for extra bases! That's almost 4 total bases per SEC game, and over 2 runs accounted for. Per SEC game!


Now if only my Bravos will do the right thing and draft Brent Rooker with their 1st round pick. Nah... let's add another upside starting pitcher! sigh...
