STATS - Updated as of 5/23/22 - including Big 12 stats

Now do grand slams by the opposition.

 

We're still atop the stats sheet.
WV has nearly fallen off a cliff.
TCU is looking pretty good on paper.

 

We've extended our overall statistical lead over the competition this week. We're way out on top of this conference on the stat sheet.

2 of the top 3 starting pitchers!!!
Top batting average
Top slugging %

 

IMHO, here's a couple of MLB stars Gordon takes after.* He's a left-hander that likes to use his changeup(s) as his go-to pitch. He paints the corners with his fastball in the high 80s/low 90s (at most), and throws his well-disguised change-ups at differing speeds, and with good movement. Batters may see a 77 mph changeup, a 90 mph fastball, and an 82 mph changeup. He confuses the heck out of the batters. He's got a decent enough slider too. But those changeups!!! That's good enough to retire the side against most college batting lineups.

*I'm obviously not saying he's as good as Glavine or Santana, just that his pitching style is reminiscent of theirs.

Johan Santana

   This dangerous Dominican southpaw epitomizes a changeup pitcher.
   
   His change of pace pitch has helped him to a very impressive 133-69 record, with a 3.10 ERA and 1,877 strikeouts.
   
   Santana's career with the Twins and Mets also has resulted in a long list of awards, which includes Sports Illustrated's all-decade team.

Tom Glavine

1.

   The legendary career of Tom Glavine was highlighted by his pitching style, which included an outside changeup that was nearly impossible to hit.
   
   The 44-year-old left the game with a 305-203 career record, 10 All-Star selections and two NL Cy Young awards.
   
   Glavine was in a different league than the flashier, violent pitchers of today. His changeup became a primary pitch which helped him to 2,607 career strike outs.
