Early Season Letdowns at Plate
Nolan Souza: .071 (1H in 14AB's), 2BB's, 9 K's, .188 OB%
Rocco Peppi: .077 (1H in 13AB's), 2BB's, 2 K's, .294 OB%
Logan Maxwell: .154 (2H in 13AB's), 4BB's, 1 K, .333 OB%
Ryder Helfrick: .222 (4H in 18AB's), 5BB's, 7 K's, .391 OB%
Juston Thomas Jr.: .235 (4H in 17AB's), 8BB's, 6 K's, .500 OB%
Kendall Diggs: .235 (4H in 17AB's), 2BB's, 6 K's, .316 OB%
Charles Davalan: .250 (7H in 28AB's), 3BB's, 2 K's, .344 OB%

Thomas listed because of BA, but his OB% is tied for third on the team. He has 8 walks, but also has been hit by pitch twice. Helfrick is also near .400 OB% and has the most RBI's out of that bottom group listed above, with 3.

I think against the competition coming up, we will really see who the bottom of the barrel in this group is and who isn't.

We have some soft teams coming up and all in Baum before we hit SEC play.

Should give players at the bottom some AB's to get their shite together before the conference grind.

We call those “that’s just baseball” rates at Arkansas.

Rocco must’ve decided to hit today. 2/2 so far.

We beat this team 21-1 in 7 innings last year first game after the tournament as well.

Thomas becoming one of my favorites on this squad. Finds a way on base and is fast. Nice flash of power there.

Good good let the butthurt flow through you.
