Taking an analytical approach to the Beaver offense and their 3 PAC-12 challengers. Stats through the LBSU series were used. Gonzaga series not included.
Start here with the basics. Batting average, On base % and Slugging%. A picture of a team's ability to hit, get on base and hit for extra bases. The slash line is the most frequently used offensive analytic in baseball. The BB.K Ratio is influenced by the number of BB a team draws and the number of times the team strikes out. The Beavers have a relatively high K rate (295 in 34 games), but also have a high rate of drawing BB's (201 in 34 games). The adjusted BB:K ratio can be skewed by getting HBP often, (UCLA has been plunked 70 times in 35 games). The TOB analytic is a quick measurement of bat to ball skill and the ability to hit the ball hard for XB hits. The metric reveals how many bases you can expect for every out you make.
SLASH:
Beavers: .310/ .420/ .467 (OPS 887)
oregon: .311/ .399/ .508 (OPS 907)
Stanford: .279/ .362/ .466 (OPS 828)
UCLA: .257/ .386/ .383 (OPS 769)
BB:K RATIO
Beavers 1:1.47
oregon 1:1.35
Stanford 1:2.09
UCLA 1.1.67
aBB.K RATIO (Adjusted to include HBP total)
Beavers 1:1.22
oregon 1:1.10
Stanford 1:1.86
UCLA 1:1.21
TBO (Total bases/out)
Beavers .617
oregon .672
Stanford .637
UCLA .453

They are a game-and-a-half up on UCLA, and I think that the Wildcats probably have a better shot at a Tourney bid than the Bruins. (Arizona's nonconference RPI is 19, and UCLA's is 69.) Arizona is also the only team that swept Stanford. I get that the Bruins are a sleeping giant that might eventually wake up and realize that they are playing baseball and go on a run. But no love for the Wildcats? |

Thanks for lining out those comparisons Chin. Offensive analysis of stats is fun. Interesting parities. Kinda explains the log jam at the top. One would think anyway.

But no love for the Wildcats? I have 'love' for the Wildcats, they have talent & we play them at Hi Corbett.(After the ducks & before the Bruins) However, they're currently underperforming the last 2 weeks. With series losses to Washington St & @ Utah.( both 1-2 ) The losses to the Cougs at home are "real head scratchers." |

But no love for the Wildcats? Speaking of not including teams, don't look now but the Utah series coming up appears much more interesting. They're hot heading into today's second game vs SC, took the series last week vs Arizona and currently only 3 games back. They do not look to be an easy out all of a sudden. |
