[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 1173299, member: 3164"] Yes, at the major league level there are lengthy studies done that show that around 30% to 35% of all baserunners (hits/BB/HBP, excluding errors) should be expected to score. And there are very few pitchers who are able to deviate from that number over a period of time (1 or 2 seasons). Often when you see a pitcher have an anomalous season, you can look and see that their LOB% was quite high, and one should expect that to revert back. I've never seen a study at the college level, but I've looked myself at our numbers over the years and found that we are usually a little higher, in the 40% to 45% range. Last night we were at 25% (4 runs off of 16 baserunners) and FSU was at 33% (3 runs out of 9 baserunners), so both teams were a little low. But that should go w/o saying in a 4-3 ballgame. BTW, on the season, in ACC play, our staff is at 33.5% (71 runs out of 212 hits/BB/HBP), so we are performing more like a normal major league staff in that regard. A little "lucky", or a sign of a staff that knows how to pitch w/ traffic better than usual? [/QUOTE]
