Looking at out ACC stats vs other ACC teams - boy it explains a lot
and had one BIG surprise to me...we were #2 (tied) in fielding percentage! (our turf?) Hitting was 12th as we got off to a slow start... And then Pitching (if you can call it that - maybe BP is better) = comes in at 16th with an era at 6.95. Atrocious...CJS and new guy have som e work to do...

We need 6-7 productive new arms from the portal IMO.

Yup. It's just such a crapshoot though. So while I don't know the
circumstances around their exits, it stings when we lose productive arms like Swift and Crowl. We are going to have to make great evaluations on on the less than obvious guys that are already landing at what have traditionally been better programs. Hope we hit on that this year. Look at this past season though. Most of the big contributors ended up being recruited guys. The transfer arms had very mixed results with most of them having a diminished role by the end of the year. Not trying to be a downer, but it's just proven pretty difficult for us to play the Portal card well on the mound.

The Swift portal irritates me the most. Not sure what beef CJS had w/ him.
Had a .115 BAA in ACC play, a 3.67:1 SO/BB ratio in ACC play but only got 7 innings of work. He had a better BAA overall than anyone else by 50 points. I get it that some guys only got weekend work in the ACC but when he proves he's worthy during the week and in spot ACC duty, he needs more opportunity. Guys are hitting .340-.380 off Grim, Robertson and Yagesh in ACC and they had double and triple the innings. Just odd.

Agreed it's a headscratcher. The dynamic changed for sure though as a lot
of meaningful baseball was played after his last appearance of the season (against UNCG).
