Here we are on a Monday afternoon and bigten.org still doesn't have the accurate standings for baseball and that is why I always link D1Baseball's standings which are updated quickly as results occur. bigten.org has Illinois in 2nd place with Maryland in 3rd, but Maryland beat Illinois in a DH on Saturday and the last win that day propelled Maryland into 2nd place ahead of Illinois. Now their stats appear current with the number of games played through the weekend being accurate to include the DH that Ill/MD played Saturday (go figure.) Teams have played anywhere from 41 games (Rutgers) to 35 games (Purdue/NW) with IU having played 39 games, so when you look at just totals, there's the consideration of the number of games played. However, I don't think the teams that have played just 35 games could catch us in the negative categories in pitching, if we suspended things until they caught up to the number of games played, we are that bad.
As far as stats go IU is tied with Iowa for 5th in batting with a .276 avg. We are last in pitching with a team ERA of 7.28, and we are deep enough into the season, I don't see that changing between now and the end of the season since we are almost a full earned run behind next to last OSU. We are tied for 2nd with Michigan in fielding with a fielding pct of 0.977.
As far as pitching goes, we lead the B1G in these categories. ERs given up with 272. BBs with 230. WPs with 52 with Hayden leading the conference. Hit batters with 79 with Brehmer, Perkins and Kraft being 1-2-3 in the conference. On the positive side, we are 2nd in strikeouts with 391, with Iowa leadng with 437 and they have played three fewer games than us.
In hitting, Ellis is now tied with two others for the most HRs at 12, and it's been something like 12 or 13 games since he last hit one as teams have changed how they pitch to him. Ellis is also 4th in RBIs. Whalen is 3rd in stolen bases, while Ellis leads the conference in hitting into DPs. Doanes, Ellis, and Mathison are 5th, 6th and 7th in the conference in walks.
In fielding, we lead the B1G in the fewest number of errors committed at 30 on the season which is another positive for us.
