Where do those numbers fall historically?

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...


I think we'll draft an OF this year but I'm guessing it'll be a toolsy HS kid like Beck or Adell.

Tough question to answer for two of reasons.

1. can't project how many games he will play, aka, how far MSU will make it...

2. Completely different era of College Baseball with different balls, bats, and pitchers that are so much more advanced with their stuff compared to a SEC pitcher in the 70s-90s...


For comparison's sake, let's say Rooker plays in 65 games. Now I will project what his stats would be off his current stats, once again, not a perfect science.


Historically Rooker would fall(all-time SEC):


Home Runs:
t5. (28)

Batting Average:
15. (.432)

RBI:
7. (95)

Hits:
t14. (104)

Doubles:
2. (33)

Total Bases:
2. (225)


I can't find any records for slugging, OBP or OPS.

They did a comparison during yesterday's game with Brent and AJ Reed from Kentucky several years ago. Pretty similar numbers plus Reed was also their Friday ace. Not sure if that had any difference with his hitting.
