We don't have an elite pitcher or batter(s)
We don't have a Canaday, Frahm, Pickens. etc.
We also don't have an elite hitter(s). We have very nice solid hitters. But as much as the offense was very good, top in the country, it is also vulnerable to elite pitching...... Even the top OKC teams can score 4-5 runs against other elite pitchers.... Can we?

Your answer is in ERA. You need 2 elite pitchers. TxTech 2.16; TX 2.40.

From what I can see its two-fold: pitching and ability to hit high quality

I think there are a few things. The obvious is consistent pitching.
