2021 Season Notes

So after 4 games we have 46 team strikeouts. 15 for Friday's game, 8 for game 1 on Saturday, 7 for game 2 on Saturday, 16 on Sunday.

A lot of strikeouts, hopefully we can get it worked on as the season goes on. Comes with being aggress though. Might need to dive in to see how many swinging/looking.

Best part about this year, is everyone playing everyone. Going to be interesting to see how this plays out.

Also of note, as of right now Indiana has the highest RPI at 55.

Purdue is not good, so NU winning 3 of 4 was the worst it should have done last week.  Iowa and Ohio State have been decent in recent years, but I have no idea if they are good competition in the conference.

It's hard to tell how really good NU is, because they are only playing a Big Ten schedule.  However, the team looks different athletically and skill-wise this year.  IMO, there are just better players on the roster now.  Nothing against Mojo Hagge, but that guy started for 3 years as a walk-on, and I don't think he's seen the field this year.  That's how Bolt has been able to over-recruit the roster he inherited.  There are freshmen and juco transfers starting, and those guys weren't on the roster last year.  The pitching is also different with more power pitching, and Jeff Christy seems to do a good job as the pitching coach.

My recommendation is to give the team a few more weeks before any judgement can be made, but it could be a fun season to follow the baseballers.

 
As soon as I make a post about Hagge not playing at all this season, he gets the nod in LF and leadoff.  Good to see him take early advantage of this playing opportunity and get a leadoff hit and a run in bottom of the first.
