It's been hard to tell how our bats compare to last year, so I did the math. I really only care about OPS, OB%, and HR's, so that's what I looked at. Those three stats pretty much sum up everything else. Positive change is italicized, negative change is in bold. Skip to the end for the main takeaways!
Note: (HR) are calculated per 50 games
Pickering (vs Haylee Lee)
+0.076 (OPS) +.066 (OB%) -3 (HR)
Parker (vs Erickson)
+0.136 (OPS) +0.11 (OB%) +2.16 (HR)
Ludlam (vs Erickson)
+0.034 (OPS) +0.04 (OB%) -0.24 (HR)
Torres (vs Llyons)
-0.088 (OPS) -0.02 (OB%) -5.4 (HR)
Hodge (vs Llyons)
-0.309 (OPS) -0.14 (OB%) -8.2 (HR)
Brito (vs 2023)
+0.233 (OPS) +0.06 (OB%) +6.9 (HR)
Boone (vs 2023)
+0.08 (OPS) +0.02 (OB%) -1.6 (HR)
Jennings (vs 2023)
+0.092 (OPS) +0.01 (OB%) +3 (HR)
Coleman (vs 2023)
-0.311 (OPS) -0.09 (OB%) -8.1 (HR)
Hansen (vs 2023)
-0.112 (OPS) -0.02 (OB%) -1.5 (HR)
Sanders (vs 2023)
+0.214 (OPS) +0.10 (OB%) +1 (HR)
Torres (vs 2023)
+0.042 (OPS) +0.02 (OB%) +1.1 (HR)
TAKEAWAYS:
1. competition has been easier, so factor that in a bit when the differences are small.
2. Most players improved, with a major exception to Jada. Is she injured?? Her stats are way down. Hansen's are also down, but not as dramatically.
3. We simply cannot replace Grace Llyons offensively. Significant dropoff there.
4. New gals are outperforming the ones they replaced for the most part.
6. HRs are significantly down this year. We aren't even on the board for the most homeruns in the tournaments we've been playing in. Not sure what the deal is. Change in focus to getting more base hits and fewer pop outs? Has Patty or anyone addressed this?
