*** Weekend rotation only ***

Friday SP

28 IP, 34 H, 37 K, 14 BB, 1.71 WHIP, 5.79 ERA
2022 Frank:
16.2 IP, 21 H, 23 K, 5 BB, 1.56 WHIP, 4.32 ERA (stats are starts only)
2022 Perry:
11.1 IP, 13 H, 14 K, 9 BB, 1.94 WHIP, 7.94 ERA (stats are starts only)

Saturday SP
2021 Hroch:
30 IP, 40 H, 25 K, 6 BB, 1.53 WHIP, 5.70 ERA
2022 Schanaman:
32.1 IP, 21 H, 33 K, 15 BB, 1.11 WHIP, 3.62 ERA

Sunday SP
2021 Schanaman:
29 IP, 22 H, 36 K, 10 BB, 1.10 WHIP, 5.79 ERA
2022 McCarville:
21.2 IP, 26 H, 18 K, 7 BB, 1.52 WHIP, 6.23 ERA (5 starts)

2021 starters: 8-1
2022 starters: 5-7

2021 bullpen: 5-4
2022 bullpen: 2-4
For some reason I feel 2022 numbers on W-L aren't jiving but I don't have any more time to double check. Omaha was a 2-game series and I didn't include game 4's in 2021 but did for UTA/NS weekend since all 4 mentioned above started.

Offensively:
2021 scored 137 runs scored in 18 weekend games (games are where a starter named above started)
2022 scored 91 runs scored in 18 weekend games

2021 is +46 in run differential thru 18 weekend games, which is 2.55/game. Pretty big number. Flips our record from 9-13 to 13-9, but I know, it's not that easy. Point remains though, I think!?

We lost 3 pitchers from 2021 to the draft; Schwellenbach in the 2nd, Povich in the 3rd and Wynne in the 20th. Hroch was a veteran, proven starter as a grad transfer. Add in losing Bunz opening weekend (TBA on his return), Perry (heading to Alabama today I believe) & Bradford a couple weekends ago (although Bradford is rumored to be cleared to play catch) and here we are - relying on true freshmen as our top leverage guy; Jelkin first out of pen on Friday, Hood seems to have the Wynne role, & Benson now has 5 appearances in 13 days.

Why!? Go look at the 2018 & 2019 class Erstad brought in. Flop after flop after flop. Thankfully coach Bolt and staff hit the ground running & has done extremely well to date.
 
Good post. It’s also unfortunate that it isn’t as easy as adding a ton of transfers and JUCO players as the scholly distribution doesn’t always make that easy. I do wish they added an outfielder but do appear to bring in more competition as early as next year and bring back quite a bit young talent.

The one issue I have with this team right now is the lack of focus in the details. The approach at the plate and the detail in the field. If they just did that right they’d actually have a chance, even with the up and down pitching.

Posted in the Creighton thread but thought it's worth sharing here. Also, Evan Bland has some eye popping numbers in this article.

This was sent to me a week or so ago, so if an error is made you can blame Bolt. I will say, I'm an OPS guy but the person didn't share that & a quick look at huskers.com doesn't show that stat.

Black font = Erstad head coach
Red font = Bolt head coach

Hallmark:
Freshmen - .261
Sophomore - .234
Junior - .368 (covid)
Junior - .342


Schwellenbach:
Freshmen - .275
Sophomore - .295 (covid)
Sophomore - .284


Roskam:
Freshmen - .266
Sophomore - .269
Junior - .221
Senior - .264 (covid)
Senior - .307


Acker:
Freshmen - .154 (barely played)
Sophomore - .192 (barely played)
Junior - .260
Senior - .306 (covid)
Senior - .283


I'll add this

These 4 combined for:
564 games started
612 games played
2,484 plate appearances

And all 4 had their highest fielding % under coach Bolt! Go figure, eh!?

Now add in Mojo Hagge & Logan Foster (314 starts, 382 games played, 1,350 plate appearances) - both as a leadership on what to expect and experience standpoint and it's quite clear what we lost from the 2021 team isn't easily replaced.

All 6 totaled up?
878 games started, 994 games played, 3,834 plate appearances

What did we return?

Chick
99 starts, 106 games played, 407 plate appearances

Everitt
32 starts, 37 games played, 138 plate appearances

Gomes
45 starts, 47 games played, 167 plate appearances

Matthews
36 starts, 39 games played, 155 plate appearances

Anderson
45 starts, 45 games played, 201 plate appearances

Steil
19 starts, 28 games played, 71 plate appearances

Combined
276 starts, 302 games played, 1,139 plate appearances

Water. You should put down the fuzzy navel and try water.

2018 class
Blessie - no longer here
Gillum - no longer here
Hammit - no longer here
Schwellenbach - obvious
Schanaman - solid contributor, hasn't met the hype though
Gomes - injured for 2 years, irrelevant since 2019.
Perry - 62 career innings, in 3 seasons (twice injured)
Feekin - 16 career innings, in 3 seasons with a 8.82 career ERA
Martin - accepts role, performs
Chick - .252 career hitter

2019
Boynton - no longer here
Dolney - no longer here
Kramer - no longer here
Holdsworth - no longer here
Diederich - no longer here
Bennett - no longer here
Cerveny - no longer here
Mackie - no longer here
Walsh - hasn't played
Wessel - twice injured, bullpen catcher
Palmer - 1 start
Bragg - potential, w/ 2 years remaining
Banjoff - .259 hitter, potential w/ 2 years remaining
Mason - can't find the mound, even with a shortened staff, 2 years remaining

In defense of DE, a couple from 2019 didn't even make it to campus but they still signed under him.
