In 35 games since becoming leadoff, 19 RBIs that are not herself

Game 1 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 3 BBs, 2 runs scored, 0 rbi Game 2 - Hit 2nd behind Blackwell - 1 hit, 1 HR, 1BB, 3 RBI, 1 BB Game 3 - Hit 2nd behind Blackwell - 3 hits, 1 RBI Game 4 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 1 hit, 1 HR, 1 BB, 3 RBI, 1 Game 5 - Hit 3rd behind Blackwell and Lynch - 2 hits, 0 RBI...scored 2 runs I think due to Peck HR and Legette hit Game 6 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 2 hits, 1 HR, 2 BBs, 1 RBI Game 7 - Hit 4th behind Blackwell, Lynch, Chatfield - 0 hits, 2 BBs Game 8 - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 1 hit, 1 BB Game 9 (LSU) - Hit 2nd behind Lynch - 0 hits, 0 walks Game 10 (LSU) - Hit 5th - 0 hits, 3 SOs Game 11 - Hit 4th behind Jones, Lynch, Chatfield - 2 hits, 1 BB, 2 RBI Game 12 (Alabama) - Hit 4th - 2 hits, 1 BB, 1 RBI Game 13 - Hit 4th - 1 hit, 1 RBI Game 14 - Hit 5th - 2 hits, 2 RBI Game 15 (Alabama) - HIt 4th - 0 hits Game 16 - Liberty - lead off - 1 hit, 1 BB, 1 HR, 1 RBI Game 17 - lead off.... In the 15 games prior to leading off against Liberty, McMillan had the following. My numbers could be off but... 17 hits 12 BBs 3 HRs (I believe) 14 RBI - 3 of those were her scoring herself Right now her season totals are the following, with the numbers since becoming leadoff: 29 HRs - so 3 before becoming leading off / 26 HRs since becoming leadoff 59 RBI - 45 RBI after becoming lead off 37 BBs - 25 since becoming lead off Since she has 26 HRs and 45 RBI since becoming.... - 26 of those 45 RBI are her hitting herself in - 19 RBIs from hitting teammates in VT has played 50 games. Based on those above numbers, in 35 games, Cori has hit 26 HRs and only brought 19 batters besides herself in those 35 games. This seems crazy. I invite people to check the numbers in case i am off ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 5/5/2025, 6:53:22 PM ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 5/5/2025, 6:55:29 PM ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 5/5/2025, 7:42:04 PM

Of the year!**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:23 PM ET
So has anyone tried to just walked her every time?**
UTPr0sim 05/05/25 04:55 PM ET
This is a great reason she’s batting lead off instead of the 3/4 hole…..
HokiefromBedford 05/05/25 05:11 PM ET
Yeah, but leading of limits her RBI opportunities**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:23 PM ET
She has had a great season.......

If you don't have other players with good OBPs, continuing to lead Cori

I coined it to be "if it ain't broke, don't break it!"**
TomTurkey 05/06/25 02:29 PM ET
Odds are we win a couple of more games with a hitter like Lynch
VAHokie89 05/06/25 12:30 AM ET
I agree I would have hit her 3rd. I am going to look at losses
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:42 AM ET
Note Lynch got on base 64 times as of now. 17 doubles
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:23 AM ET
Look more closely at Villanova (3rd inning), UVA. Not about HRs
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:16 AM ET
29 of her RBI are her hitting herself in / She only has 30 other RBI
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:29 PM ET
I just looked at our losses below. And I only see the potential upside of
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:46 AM ET
nvm
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:15 AM ET
It does not even have to be a HR. I see Villanova, UVA and maybe a Pitt
VAHokie89 05/06/25 08:01 AM ET
Looking at anything besides HRs opens a large
nkhooch 05/06/25 10:50 PM ET
Of course, but those were two situations that also illustrate the problem
VAHokie89 05/06/25 11:54 PM ET
VT’s record is 27-7 with her as the leadoff batter. **
RJHokie 05/05/25 06:42 PM ET
12-3 before. I post it below: 19 RBIs in 35 games that are not
VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:58 PM ET
Cori didn’t start as the leadoff batter until game #16 this season
RJHokie 05/05/25 06:28 PM ET
I did not realize it was that far back. Interesting.**
nkhooch 05/06/25 12:45 AM ET
Thanks to both you.....

VAHokie89 05/05/25 06:53 PM ET
Even if you are off by one or two items they are definitely still quite
RJHokie 05/05/25 07:01 PM ET
Most teams will pitch to her at least once. Don’t believe she’s been
RJHokie 05/05/25 05:04 PM ET
Agreed. Though Peck has not been "dangerous" recently**
VAHokie89 05/05/25 07:11 PM ET
Right, until Sunday, Peck has had a weak (for her) ACC season.**
nkhooch 05/06/25 01:43 AM ET
Against a top 5 team too!**
