A while back someone asked for a comparison of last summer's numbers and this summer's numbers. In my opinion only the Cape Cod League and The Alaska League can really be compared. For some players like Eric Freeman, for example, one can only compare what he did for Laconia last year and Valley this year in the New England League as there were no other players from UT in that league for the last two years. The Hamptons League is similar in that I don't know what can be derived from comparisons because there just isn't much history and no way to know what if any correlation exists between dominating the Hamptons League as a predictor for SEC performance.
So...Pitching...

Lenstrohm was used as a reliever, everyone else above was a starter, though some had a few innings of relief, so keep that in mind.
The new balls should have resulted in Soto and Warren having higher ERA's, maybe the wood bats off set that.
Cape Cod 2014
Andrew Lee: 4.21 ERA, 7 G, 7 GS, 0 CG, 2 W, 3 L, 32 IP, 26 H, 18 R, 15 ER, 18 BB, 19 SO, 7 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 6 WP, 0 HBP, .230 BAA
D. Owenby: 5.52 ERA, 15 G, 1 GS, 0 CG, 0 W, 2 L, 14.2 IP, 17 H, 10 R, 9 ER, 11 BB, 12 SO, 3 2B, 0 HR, 0 WP, 2 HBP, .293 BAA
Cape Cod 2015
K. Serrano: 3.20 ERA, 8 G, 7 GS, 0 CG, 3 W, 2 L, 33.2 IP, 23 H, 14 R, 12 ER, 12 BB, 35 SO, 1 2B, 1 3B, 5 WP, 5 HBP, .187 BAA
H. Martin: 3.37 ERA, 7 G, 4 GS, 0 CG, 0 W, 1 L, 18.2 IP, 20 H, 10 R, 7 ER, 12 BB, 9 SO, 3 2B, 1 3 B, 2 HR, 3 WP, 2 HBP, .274 BAA
The same thing that applies to PLenny applies to Owenby...
Big difference in the SO/BB ratio for KS one summer to the next and against better competition.
Obviously, there is still a week to go and the final numbers could change a bit, but it's a fairly good representation at this point imo.
Other than those few comments, I'll keep any others to myself as I'm interested in the Board's feedback on the numbers.
