MSU finished the regular season top 3 or 5 in the SEC in nearly every major pitching category despite missing its expected Friday night starter for over half of the year and facing the nation's 8th-ranked strength of schedule.
But what stands out is their youth:
-12 of 19 pitchers were freshmen/sophomores
-Only 2 seniors logged any innings
-The only 4 pitchers with 5+ starts were all sophomores
-Most used reliever was a Sophomore
-4 of the top 5 in innings pitched were sophomores
-The SEC leader in Ks is a MSU sophomore
-The SEC leader in Wins is a MSU sophomore
A very promising foundation for what Coach O'Connor is building here in Starkville. #HailStateStats
