Gator Baseball 2022 Roster/Lineup/Batting Order

This is so frustrating but congrats to Caglianone for making it back to get his first start today. I've very interested to see what the young hitter can bring to the lineup.

 

That would be 4 times as many hits as any other game this weekend. You do the math.

 

Here is a stat nugget that really ticks me off and speaks exactly to one of our many problems. Of our normal starters guess who has the lowest batting average on the season with Runners On Base???
Colby Halter at .180, what kind of leader is that who can't even bat 200 when you have runners on and the coach keeps him in the leadoff spot. Now we understand Sully's thinking. He figures since Halter is lowest on the team with runners on then its best to keep him leading off because anywhere else would only make things worse.

 

I don't really care much about stats in the mean time but in case you are wondering which batters are holding their own in SEC play.
I pulled these from my last batting update and added the current info.

Player------------3/14 AVG--4/19 AVG----DIFF----4/26 AVG----
Halter, Colby-------- .391----- .272 -------(-.119)------- .252-------
Langford, Wyatt---- .377------ .348 -------(-.029)------ .333------
Thompson, Sterlin-- .358------ .336 ------(-.022)------- .333------
Riopelle, BT---------- .318----- .317 -------(-.001)------ .292-------
Fabian, Jud---------- .310------ .291 ------(-.019)------- .275-------
Calilao, Kendrick---- .286----- .257 -------(-.029)------- .242-------
Fabian, Deric-------- .278----- .231 -------(-.047)------- .222-------
Armstrong, Kris----- .227----- .222 -------(-.005)------- .222------
Rivera, Josh--------- .216----- .282 ------- +.066-------- .271------
Guscette, Mac------- .143----- .246 ------- +.103------- .235------

The only player that has not dropped further is Armstrong because he has not batted. Props to Sterlin for only losing 3 points last week. Most everybody else dropped 10 to 15 points, except Halter who dropped another 20. FYI in his 3 ABs Caglianone is batting .333. I hope to add him to the list going forward if Sully will leave him in but you also have to credit Lastres who is also batting .333 or Talbott at .316 but rarely get an AB against SEC pitching.

 

I'm hearing a shuffle in the rotation this weekend. It will be Sproat/Neely/ and then either Slater or Nesbitt. Hopefully we can win the first game and give ourselves a better chance to win the series. If not, oh well.
There is also some uncertainty about Barco's future and just what the injury is or is not. Hopefully more to come from this weekend.

 

From where we were after the first month of the season to where we are now, this is almost hard to believe but its finally happened. Colby Halter's batting average in the SEC is now lower than Deric Fabian, .154 to .164. Plus Colby's On Base % is the lowest in conference on the team of our starters. Caglianone sure has a wide open door to step through if he keeps up the great hitting.

 

Alright since Sully shook things up finally and everyone is so enamored about Caglianone's great start, I'll step back in the ring with my "Hope to See but Will Never See Lineup".

RF - Sterlin Thompson (L) - gut feeling says he's getting ready to go on a run
CF - Jud Fabian (R) - still leads the team in OB% so keep him early in the order
LF - Wyatt Langford (R) - most productive batter on the team should be hitting 3rd
C - BT Riopelle (L) - homerun potential from the left side
DH - Jac Caglianone (L) - sky high potential but still a freshman
SS - Josh Rivera (R) - consistent average no matter who we play
3B - Kris Armstrong (S) - he has been sitting for too long, give him a chance
1B - Kenny Calilao (R) - low production with the bat but still dependable with the glove
2B - Jorge De Goti (R) - right now anyone but Halter so I dare Colby to prove me wrong, please

 

Interesting stat of the day when leading off an inning our top batter is Jud Fabian hitting .452. Sterlin Thompson is next closest at .400 according to the in game stats from yesterday. That's suppose to be batting average not on base percent.

 

Getting word that Lastres lack of playing might be from an arm issue.

 

Are we going Fishing tonight for a starter???
