Yes.You getting the advanced metrics from D1 baseball?

Home park can absolutely impact HR/FB ratio.How do the parks compare? Could the difference in HR/FB be attributed to home stadiums?
I guess theoretically it shouldn't matter much, since WRC+ adjusts for park. But that might be a broad, simplified adjustment that misses the way this specific factor impacts this specific hitter.
Good to see you back posting on the boardCostello had a 109 wRC+, which adjusts for park and competition in the same conference as Levenson.
Levenson had a 124 wRC+.
Basically what that tells us is that Costello was a 9% better hitter than average and Levenson was 24% better.
The way they get there is exactly as you say; Levenson had 16.7% of his fly balls turn into HR's, while Costello only had 6.7% turn into HR's. Their fly ball percentages were almost identical, so it wasn't a data mix issue. Levenson with 45.7% fly balls and Costello at 46.8%.
Levenson walks a tick more and strikes out a tick more (12.6% BB to 9.5%, 18.7% K to 14.6%).
The way that Costello gets to a higher OBP is through HBP. He's a bit of a magnet there as he got hit 12 times, compared to only 7 for Levenson.
It's a good pickup and is a pretty close match for Levenson next year most likely with another year of growth. Costello was much closer to Levenson with a 115 wRC+ prior to the Supers, but struggled a bit in Supers/CWS to drag it down to his final 109.
Absolutely the kinda guy you need to make a big swing at if you are trying to be a serious program.I imagine Mason Molina is going SEC or UCLA etc. but you have to offer a large percentage of the budget to him.
Jeb’s a cop now in OklahomaGo after Zach Morris from Arkansas!!!!!
LHP that we can land from the portal.
Call Jeb Bargfeldt's dad who is an Assistant on the Softball team and get this thing rolling...
We need two front line guys from the portal.
And he’s coaching at Owasso HS. I saw him in March.Jeb’s a cop now in Oklahoma
Does anyone have an updated roster as of today?
Which freshmen are enrolled in summer school?
Are Renzo, Perez, and others staying or moving on?
Are Costello and the JC pitcher th only Portal/ late additions?
What about any other JC transfers?
Thanks in advance, I am trying to get an idea of what the lineup and staff will be.
Didn’t see anyone else report it but Arkansas about a week ago.I imagine Mason Molina is going SEC or UCLA etc. but you have to offer a large percentage of the budget to him.
Maybe he'll be akin to an MLB big contract FA and produce his 2nd year?I would still love to know how he could possibly have eligibility left, but Gomez is playing in the Northwoods League this summer
I agree on Gomez. Apparently a phenomenal locker room guy and teammate, but plug-in outfielder at best based on his performance last year.Captain of what?
With Villegas and new arrival Costello, I see no place in the outfield for him. Why take innings away from one of our younger players for Gomez. His low On Base Percentage is what really stood out to me.
Right now Costello or one of the Freshmen would be my leadoff hitter.
It's unusual, but not unheard of for players out of eligibility to play summer ball:I would still love to know how he could possibly have eligibility left, but Gomez is playing in the Northwoods League this summer
