WEEKLY COLLEGE UPDATE FOR FORMER TEAM USA PLAYERS

 

WEEKLY RECAP: 5/4/2009

  • 5/4/2009: Week 11 in the books; 2 weeks left in the regular season; Important upcoming dates:
    • End of the regular season: May 17th
    • Conference tournaments: May 20th
    • Regionals: May 29th
    • Super-regionals: June 5th
    • MLB Draft: June 9th
    • College World Series: June 13th
  • An old feature that we haven't covered in a while is back: AFLAC Stats; the page link is in the left menu bar...
  • After 5 weeks on the DL, Rice junior Ryan Berry returned to the mound this week; earlier this season, Berry had a run of 3 straight complete games where he didn’t allow a single earned run; then an injury shortly after that stretch sidelined him until now…
  • Missouri junior Kyle Gibson broke the triple-digit-K mark this week while picking up his 8th win; Gibson’s 107 K’s is good for 7th on Missouri’s single-season strikeout list and his 280 career strikeouts stands at 3rd all-time; with two more projected starts, Gibson should move even higher on those lists…
  • Although Arizona State junior Mike Leake fell just shy of the century mark for K’s (96), he still remains virtually unbeatable; Leake notched his 11th win to keep his streak of victories going; for those keeping score, that streak is now a win every week since day 1…
  • San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg moved past the century mark long ago and continues to add significantly to that number; this week Strasburg pitched 8 innings of shutout baseball, allowing only 3 hits while issuing only 2 walks and fanning 12 of the 26 batters he faced; his K/IP is now a ridiculous 1.88…
  • UC Riverside junior Joe Kelly hadn’t allowed more than 1 earned run in a game this year until this past week; Kelly made 14 prior appearances and allowed a total of 6 earned runs; he allowed a total of 6 earned runs during this past week alone to match his season total…
  • While analyzing the stats, we noticed that Arizona junior Dwight Childs doesn’t whiff very often; so to quantify that assertion, we devised a ratio to see how often our guys were striking out; we crunched the stats and here’s our list of the “Toughest Guys to Strikeout”:

    • Just as we thought, Childs ranked 3rd; Scott Schauer actually ranked first, but we only included Division I players…
    • ...
  • Josh Fellhauer (Jr) – Jared Clark (Sr) – Christian Colon (Fr): that’s the top 3 hitter’s, in order, for Cal State Fullerton; together, those 3 form the nucleus for the Titan’s offense and all 3 are showing great success; enough success to lead their team into BA’s Top 10, #6 actually, heading into the final two weeks of the season…
  • Georgia Tech sophomore Derek Dietrich celebrated his first 3-HR week on the year…
  • …while Fresno State junior Tommy Mendonca celebrated his 2nd 4-HR week of the year; Mendonca now sits on 20 HR’s for the season…
  • Don't forget, cumulative season statistics are now located on a different page; click the link in the menu bar on the left...
  • There's so much more that we just can't get to, but the weekly stats below and cumulative season stats HERE should give you an idea of who else is hot and who's not; check back next week for more updates...
