I believe in elizondo's case he is a power threat.  Id have to look up his stats to confirm that however.

On the flip side, the UTT player Kendall Fox is not a power guy.  He has a ton of walks.  He is a singles and doubles guy and a table setter for the bigger bats of Amex and co. that come later in the lineup.  Copeland and Goss are very similar hitters to Fox.  Both draw alot of walks and for the most part are single and double guys.

So if you are doing hitter of the year i guess its really your choice of whether you want to put more emphasis on power numbers or average. 

I wouldn't call Elizondo a power threat. He has 13 doubles, but only 1 home run. Did Trent deserve a mention? Yeah, probably so, but I couldn't justify putting him on the list when his teammate Brett Rosen is having the better year in my honest opinion.

Elizondo is hitting a ridiculous .456, but Rosen isn't too far behind with .439
Elizondo is slugging .565 to Rosen's .745
Elizondo's OBP is .515, but Rosen's is again close with .480
Rosen has scored 21 more runs, and has 9 more RBIs and 3 more SBs.
I think there's just been more offensive productivity out of Brett Rosen and maybe even Mitch Elliott who is hitting .388, 10 bombs, .729 SLG and 17 SBs

Round 2 of the pitcher rankings. I swapped WHIP for K/BB, since using K/BB with K/9 and BB/9 was rewarding pitchers for the same thing twice. Also, since there are now around 30-40 pitchers with 40+ IP, the points changed to 20 for 1st on down until 0 points for everyone below 20th place in a stat. All the pitchers were ranked together, so you can see an ASC-wide ranking. Now, the top 10's from each division.

Any chance we're getting round three of the pitcher rankings before this weekends games?

Probably later this afternoon/evening. I have class in an hour, and when that's done I'm planning on doing those and the BaseRuns rankings. In the meantime, here's a ranking of team speed using a slightly modified version of Bill James' Speed Score formula (formulas?). There are parts relating to SB%, SBA, GDP, R/times on base, and 3B. FYI, league average was 6.85, and it's supposed to give an answer between 1 and 10, with 1 being slowest and 10 being fastest. Remember, this isn't so much the team 40-time or anything, it's a measure more of "baseball speed", if that makes any sense.

1. MC - 8.11
2. UTT - 7.98
3. TLU - 7.85
4. UMHB - 7.48
5. SU - 7.26*
6. UO - 7.23
7. HPU - 7.19*
8. MCM - 6.69
9. LC - 6.45
10. HSU - 6.36
11. UTD - 6.32
12. CUA - 6.28
13. SRSU - 5.92
14. ETBU - 5.89
15. LETU - 5.48

* - I used league average GDP, SH, and SF since those stats weren't available that I could find.

Well, 13 doubles isn't exactly chopped liver in the power department. Gap power, I believe it's called, has its own value.

That said, Rosen's still having the better year overall, it would appear.

Okay, here's round three of the pitcher rankings. I calculated them the same way as last time, with 35 qualifying pitchers. Sul Ross hasn't updated their web site stats since 4/2, by the way.
# Name, School - Points (IP)

ASC East
1. R. Campbell, UTT - 88 (67.2)
2. B. Holland, UTT - 72 (46.1)
3. B. Booher, UTT - 66 (49.0)
4. S. Ashley, MC - 65 (51.1)
5. C. Naquin, LETU - 62 (46.1)
6. G. Wilson, LC - 56 (58.2)
7. R. Finnell, UO - 36 (50.1)
8. T. Brooks, LETU - 34 (40.2)
9. T. Williams, MC - 30 (42.1)
10. T. Koch, UO - 29 (50.1)

ASC West
1. J. Miller, CUA - 58 (72.0)
2. A. Enloe, TLU - 55 (52.2)
3. C. Johnston, MCM - 47 (59.2)
T4. S. Szkotak, CUA - 42 (68.0)
T4. R. Garza, UMHB - 42 (52.2)
6. N. Schafer, MCM - 38 (54.0)
7. B. Pearce, UMHB - 33 (45.0)
8. C. Curry, MCM - 27 (56.2)
9. N. Copeland, HSU - 23 (47.1)
10. M. Otero, SRSU - 18 (51.0)

Sorry to have four posts in a row, but when no one else is posting ya can't blame me.  :P

Anyway, here's the top 10 hitters in each division by BaseRuns per plate appearance. There were 75 hitters with 100+ AB's, which was my cutoff point. These are straight, no points or anything. Again, due to lack of pertinent stats there are no HPU or SU hitters on the West side. FYI, BsR/PA means that a hitter's performance at the plate and on the bases is worth x number of runs each time he comes to the plate.
# Name, School - BsR/PA (AB)

ASC East
1. K. Fox, UTT - .368 (112)
2. B. Rosen, UTD - .291 (157)
3. M. Elliott, UTD - .281 (129)
4. T. Elizondo, UTD - .269 (147)
5. B. Amyx, UTT - .265 (116)
6. J. Glenn, UO - .260 (143)
7. M. Putman, UTD - .259 (131)
8. J. Jackson, UTD - .258 (140)
9. A. Damewood, UTT - .247 (121)
10. J. Britt, MC - .247 (129)

ASC West
1. J. Kaase, TLU - .294 (127)
2. M. Simpson, HSU - .292 (141)
3. W. Franco, MCM - .285 (128)
4. S. Reinlie, UMHB - .279 (112)
5. B. Voorhees, MCM - .265 (144)
6. T. Gibbs, HSU - .257 (129)
7. D. David, MCM - .254 (147)
8. J. Villegas, UMHB - .251 (125)
9. B. Jacobs, CUA - .213 (141)
10. A. Froeschl - .212 (137)

The average BsR/PA among all 100+ AB hitters was .198.

CUAfan,

Thanks for the information.  Don't think your postings have not been read and appreciated. :)

Do the stats from the conference page not have all the necessary stats you need?

http://americansouthwestconf.org/stats-baseball/srsu.htm
http://americansouthwestconf.org/stats-baseball/hpu.htm

I really enjoyed the stats you've provided as well. IF I had a vote my ASC East MVP would be Fox or Rosen, West MVP, Kaase or Simpson.... East Pitcher Campbell, and West pitcher Miller or Enloe. With the exception of Campbell as pitcher of the year in the East, I think the voters have some really tough decisions on their hands this year.  You could make a case for both guys in each scenario.

For hitters, the conference pages don't have GDP, SH, or SF.

For pitchers, the conference pages don't have HR allowed.

Why this is, I don't know. It could, perhaps, be an idiosyncrasy of the conference-level version of the stat software. Of course, if HPU and Schreiner would just have their own stat reports on their website instead of linking to the conference pages it wouldn't be a problem. :P

BTW, Sul Ross I have everything for.

Friday Scores:

Concordia 8 - UMHB 2
Hardin Simmons 13 - Sul Ross 1
McMurry 7 - Howard Payne 6
Texas Lutheran 5 - Schreiner 2
UT Dallas 12 - LeTourneau 0
LA College 9 - UT Tyler 2 (first loss of the year for the Patriots)
Ozarks 15 - Miss College 5

Hardin Simmons and Concordia battling for the final playoff spot, but HSU is in the drivers seat going tinto Saturday's games.

Just_Some_Guy

Well... Just saw where Hardin Simmons swept Sul Ross winning 10-0 and 8-2 today to finish ASC play with a 13-7 record, reeling off 12 straight wins after starting 1-7. Concordia will be the odd team out.  HSU will likely be the #4 seed and play #1 seed from the East, UT Dallas next weekend in Dallas. Seems as though HSU is back on track and finally has a starting rotation they like. Rucker has thrown well his last three starts, and this is a dangerous team that UTD can't take for granted.

Also, McMurry sweeps Howard Payne 6-2, 15-4 and could move into the #2 seed in the West depending on the outcome of the Concordia/UMHB double header today.

Concordia 3 - UMHB 1
UMHB 4 - Concordia 3

WEST
Texas Lutheran ???
McMurry 14-7 (def. UMHB 2 of 3)
UMHB 14-7
Hardin Simmons 13-7

Concordia 11-10

EAST
UT Dallas 14-4
Ozarks 10-8
La College ???
Miss College 7-11

1st Round Playoff Matchups:

#1E UT Dallas vs. #4W Hardin Simmons
#1W Texas Lutheran vs. #4W Mississippi College
#2E Ozarks vs. #3W Mary Hardin Baylor
#2W McMurry vs. #3E Louisianna College

I am pretty sure this is correct.

Any predictions?


Ralph Turner

My predictions:

TLU, McM, UMHB advance easily.

UT-D has to go 3 games to beat HSU.

TexasBB

I agree with Ralph Turners prediction. The east is just not that strong this year and without UT Tyler 3 of their 4 teams do not match well with the west. UT Dallas is stronger than some might give them credit for and they could make it to the finals but they will not be the conference champ. Have to go with TL again this year.
