Errors need to be cleaned up for this team to reach its peak

FWIW: VT is 14th in nation in fielding percentage (power conferences).

Don’t confuse pro with facts

Peak = WCWS = top 8
We have a top 5 offense but pitching & D are not. Our pitchers’ ERA has been affected by misplayed hits that weren’t officially errors especially vs Duke Tonight we were great in the circle & solid aside from the early error ** Edited by hokiepro at 4/16/2024, 9:59:30 PM

I know the facts. I also know we’ve not been credited with errors on
Quite a few misplayed balls. We’re mashing the ball so that’s great! But we also have fewer fielding chances due to our pitchers’ K rates. Errors…both official and unofficial ones killed us at Duke and CLT

Duke was the better Team and Clt was a fluke

And note I said reach our PEAK. 14th shouldn’t be our peak
Goal should be to be in top 8 in each category

I can agree. Our offense is so good we should be a top 5 team, but our D
is keeping us a top 20 team. Good, yes, but not great. Some improvement in D (including pitching) and we're a top 8 team. Duke was just a bit better than us on the field. Seemed like they were everywhere. It feels like we're close, but we've had a few games that lacked enough offense as well (Bama 1-0 for sure).
