The history of pitchers missing body parts is quite short. Baseball fans will recognize the name "Three-finger Mordecai Brown," who, despite the nickname, only lacked most of his right index finger. Brown was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1949 by the Old Timers Committee for a 14-year career that saw him win an... Continue Reading →
University of Florida sophomore Jac Caglianone has taken the college baseball world by storm. After a freshman season that saw Caglianone slash .288/.339/.548 and achieve selections to the SEC All-Tournament Team and the NCAA Gainesville Regional All-Tournament Team, he was poised for another strong campaign. To say he has delivered would be an understatement. So... Continue Reading →
In the sabermetric era of baseball, the statistic “WAR” has become the overarching determinant of a player’s value. 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 →
Tennessee has been utterly dominant this college baseball season. They've lost one series all year. They lead the nation in Home Runs, ERA, and WHIP and are at the top in runs scored, OPS, and K/9. Their schedule features sweeps against Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Florida, and Mississippi State (all of which were preseason top 10... 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 →
