re: *2024 ARKANSAS RAZORBACK SEC BASEBALL SEASON THREAD*

I can't believe we have someone that isn't a catcher in the lineup hitting .188.

Even lower now.

Diggs baby!

Pitching > Hitting

This will never change.

Wilmsmeyer is batting .185 overall and .157 in SEC play.

As I’ve said before, he needs to sit and only be a situational late inning defensive substitute going forward.

If Diggs is back healthy and gets to swinging a good stick again it's maybe the difference between a natty or not. His bat is that important.

Approach at the plate was as good as it has been all season. Didn’t force too much, made them throw a ton of pitches. Picked good pitches to hit and hit them square for the most part. Hope to see more of that.

I don't want to see Wilmsmeyer at the plate again. Ever.

I dunno, DVH can be stubborn but I think he’s been wanting someone else to work themselves into that 3rd OF spot with Holt and Diggs.

Wilmsmeyer has been pinch hit for a lot this season. It’s obvious that DVH doesn’t trust him in any sort of pressure situation at the plate. Unlike Bolton and Rowland last year who played arguably the two most critical positions and had no one to back them up, his position is easier to replace defensively.

I’m not a believer in Lovich, but he is slashing .267 / .450 / .457 in SEC play, whereas Wilmsmeyer is slashing .158 / .250 / .175, which is historically low and makes John Bolton’s slash line last year look like 2003 Barry Bonds by comparison.
