28 games into the 56 game season and Tennessee is halfway through the full season and 30% trough conference season

Through 3/30

Tennessee is:

4th in base on balls with 167. (mercer has 178 in 2 more games)
1st in Team Batting average at .338
1st in doubles w/ 74 (3 ahead of K-State)
1st in ERA at 1.86 (UVA is at 2.33) The number will be even lower after the weekend
41st in Fielding % at .977 (Ok State is .989)
6th in Hits at 292 (Ga Tech has 306 w/ an extra game)
1st in Hits allowed per 9 innings 5.41
1st in Home Runs w/ 66
2nd in OBP at .455 behind Texas Southern at .456 (they get hit by pitches and reach on errors A LOT)
1st in Runs at 277 ( I suspect they will drop this week behind UVA who scored more over the weekend)
1st in scoring at 11.1 /game. UVA will likely move to #1 this week
3rd in shutouts at 5 (They will tie for #1 after shutting out #1 Vanderbilt)
1st in slugging percentage at .682 (VaTech is #2 at .612)
28th in stolen bases at 44 (Tx Southern has a whopping 119-29 spots ahead of #2 Wofford)
1st in Strikeout to walk ratio 299/58 5.16 ahead of southern miss at 257/52 4.94
4th in Strikeouts per nine innings at 12.1- Iowa has 12.9
6th in Triples at 13 (Arizona has 18)
1st in WHIP at .86 WOW! Davidson and Vanderbilt are #2 at 1.03
3rd in Walls allowed per nine innings at 2.34 (Elon has 2.17)

Those are impressive numbers to say the least.
No team we face from here on has the pitching that Vanderbilt has

SEC Team ERA Ranks
1. Tennessee 1 . 8 0
2. Vanderbilt 2 . 7 1
3. Arkansas 3 . 3 6
4. LSU 3 . 5 7
5. Alabama 3 . 9 4
6. Auburn 4 . 0 2
7. Ole Miss 4 . 3 1
8. Florida 4 . 3 9
9. Texas A&M 4 . 5 6
10. Georgia 4 . 6 3
11. Missouri 4 . 7 3
12. Mississippi State 5 . 1 0
13. Kentucky 5 . 1 2
14. South Carolina 5 . 3 8

So Tennessee is batting against some -thus far, mediocre staffs.

Opposing bat avg
1. Tennessee .166
2. Vanderbilt .196
3. Arkansas .216
4. LSU .217
5. Missouri .234
6. Florida .237
7. Mississippi State .242
8. Ole Miss .243
9. Alabama .244
10. Auburn .246
11. Georgia .247
12. Texas A&M .255
13. South Carolina .266
14. Kentucky .267

RUNS Allowed
1. Tennessee 61
2. Vanderbilt 86
3. Arkansas 92
4. Ole Miss 123
5. LSU 128
Alabama 128
7. Missouri 129
8. Florida 130
9. Auburn 136
10. Georgia 147
11. Texas A&M 150
12. Mississippi State 156
13. South Carolina 157
14. Kentucky 169

It can be said, the Vols have gone through the toughest part of their schedule and remain undefeated with 2/3 of the SEC games being on road.
4 home series remain and 3 road (Florida, Kentucky and Mississippi State)

In fact, this could get out of hand as Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Georgia, Mississippi State and Alabama are in the bottom half 0f SEC in home runs allowed. Couple this with warmer weather and tiring arms and the HRs may be flying out

The number of statistical categories in which we are #1 is impressive enough. The fact that several of each exist in both pitching and hitting is also impressive. But the most impressive thing of all is the staggering lead we hold in most of those categories. It's not even close in many (most). Is it out of the question to put this team in the conversation with the most dominant teams ever?

If they keep doing this; then no.

Last year's Arkansas team was not this dominant in any sense as they relied heavily a small number of guys- especially one as we know. And when they finally slumped they did not have the depth to take up the slack.

Vols may not even try too hard to win the SEC tourney and could have enough SEC quality starters to not even stress the lineup. 5 or 6 quality starters in a tourney where we it will only take 4-5 games to win with the three weekend starters starting their normal Fri-Sat-Sun days.

Yep, in the tourney we run ruled Mississippi State. They recovered nicely.

The best conference record was by Vandy at 26-3 (1 game rained out). Based on the schedule, if they stay hot and it’s a big if, they could attack that record. It’ll be extremely tough but the conference is down this year and we’re past 2 of our toughest road series. I’d give it a 5% chance.

What is a good WHIP in baseball?





around 1.00

When it comes to Major League-caliber pitchers a good WHIP is around 1.00. Anything below 1.00 is outstanding (potential Cy Young worthy) since it demonstrates how dominant a pitcher is.



And you are telling me that the WHOLE Vol pitching as a group is at 0.86??????????? WOW!

As per the updated states:

After 7 starts

Weekend Starters B/AVG BB SO H ERA
Beam (6-0) .098 6 29 13 0.88
Burns (6-0) .154 10 52 21 1.15
Dollander (5-0) .159 8 60 22 2.58

Redmond Walsh has the only 4 saves. Which shows how few close games the Vols have been involved with. Compare that to last season with all the walk off wins.

Even Camden Sewell who had a rough patch or two doesn't even look bad
Sewell (3-1) .212 3 23 14 3.0

I am looking at these stats and laughing at how someone tried to tell me Beam “has been productive” but isn’t on the same level as Burns or Dollander 😂😂😂😂
