University of Florida sophomore Jac Caglianone has taken the college baseball world by storm.

To say he has delivered would be an understatement. So... Continue Reading →

WAR, which stands for Wins Above Replacement, measures the value of a player’s production while putting it in terms of how many wins they generate above a replacement-level player. It is important to note that this replacement-level... Continue Reading →

Preface & Pre-Season Predictions The University of South Florida Baseball program is one that has been overlooked this season and in the recent past. The Bulls had previously reached NCAA Regionals three times between 2015 and 2018 after not appearing since 2002. This is a huge accomplishment by a program that was never truly appreciated...

Conference Tournament Structure Conference tournament week in college baseball offers plenty of excitement. Leagues have different formats (some conferences, such as the Pac-12, don't have a tournament at all), but the general concept remains the same. A group of teams in each league–often excluding a few at the bottom of the standings–play one another in... Continue Reading →
Using analytics is far more complicated when trying to build predictive models for players. But for schools, it’s far less so. Albeit harder this year than most due to two conferences only playing themselves, and another basically cancelling the season; there are still historically-based and far less volatile metrics (like ELO) available to rank teams....

The standings were a little more jumbled in 2018, but Oregon State always looked like a potential juggernaut that year, and the Beavers had... Continue Reading →

We're through the first month of the Division I college baseball season. Slow starters still have the opportunity to right the ship, while those outperforming expectations have to prove they can sustain that production long-term. Nothing is yet set in stone.
