One of the most overlooked interesting stats I found between these 2 teams is walks. Most of the other stats can be skewed by the level of competition, but walks allowed and walks taken should mostly be true across the level of competition.
Beavs are 2nd in Base on Balls, Kentucky is 92nd.
Beavs are 34th in walks per 9 innings, Kentucky is 91st.
There are a lot of SEC teams that rank high in both of these categories, just not Kentucky. There isn't a single Kentucky pitcher in the top 150 players for least amount of walks. We have 1 in Kmatz who is 82nd.
Does this nullify Kentucky's huge advantage with small ball and fielding? Maybe. I would be curious how many errors Kentucky forces on defense due to its aggressiveness.
