At the beginning of the week we discussed Oregon Baseball’s batting stats and how they helped aid in the Ducks’ run to the conference tournament title and a Super Regional appearance.
Now it’s time to take a glance at pitching which, unlike batting, was not a strong suit for Oregon in 2023.
So, the first and most pressing question: was pitching really that terrible this season?
In a word, no, it was not abysmal. However, it left a lot to be desired, especially in contrast to the Ducks’ batting.
The bread and butter stat of pitching is the ERA (earned run average).
