2010 Barking Carnival All-Big 12 Baseball Teams

Really good stuff, Huck.

Moldy’s statline goes thusly:
 
.486 OB
.568 SLG
.349 BA
 
All are higher in Big 12 play too. I was going to give you grief about putting Barrett Barnes over him, but then I looked up his stats. Great year from that freshman.
 
Good job, Huck.

Given the records of the teams in the conference, the cliche lies, damn lies and statistics comes to mind.

Either that or your playing soccer mom to make all the teams happy.

So 9 of the top 30 in the conference strikes you as underrepresentation? When Texas has 15 or 16 regulars?

Players on the first two teams:

Texas – 9
Texas A&M – 4
Kansas State – 4
Texas Tech – 3
Baylor – 3
Oklahoma – 2
Missouri – 2
Kansas – 2
Oklahoma State – 1
Nebraska – 0

So the only regulars that didn’t make the list anywhere after including honorable mention were Jordan Etier (0.560 OPS in Big 12 play; would have negative offensive win shares if I hadn’t zeroed them all out), Stayton Thomas (9 IP in conference play), and Andrew McKirahan (9 IP, 5.00 ERA).

Which of those three should have been listed?

Normally I wouldn’t be this much of a homer, but considering we were 8 games ahead of the next closest team in a 27 game season. . . Yes, it strikes me as under representation to have 4 players on the first team when K-State had 3 and they finished 9.5 games back.

I’m not critical of who you left off, but let me ask you this, if you looked at the first and second teams with no knowledge of how the season ended up, do you honestly think that you would suspect the first place team was 8 games ahead of the second place team?

Roach – Sure it makes sense if you consider that all three starting pitchers were on the first two teams and K-State only had a relief pitcher. The three starters were outstanding and simply dominated in most of the conference games. The list does not include pitching stats that would confirm their dominance. Our pitching has been sick.

Yes, I would think the first place team finished way in front. As BornaHorn stated, our entire starting rotation is first or second team plus our main relief pitcher. That’s the rough equivalent of 7-8 defensive starters on the football team making first or second team all-conference. That’s domination.

Kansas State’s representation is based on their makeup. They were offense-oriented and beyond that they were extremely reliant on three offensive players (Martini, Muenster, and Jurica). Those three players represented 77.3% of their offensive win shares. Texas’ top three players (Shepherd, Moldenhauer, Keyes) comprised 49.4% of the total. The Wildcats’ top three hitters raked this season. Martini and Muenster had 0.540 and 0.524 OBPs in conference play, respectively. And both of them had over 4.5 plate appearances per game.

Meanwhile, their three main starting pitchers had ERAs of 6.12, 6.82, and 9.00 for the conference season. The other guys that started games for them went 4.62 and 7.43 for their ERA performances.

Wait, are ERAs over 6 good or bad?

Interesting point regarding the dominance of our pitching. Perhaps the only injustice here is that all-conference teams rank pitchers at the same level as position players although we know that in baseball a pitcher has a disproportionate impact on the game.

On the other hand even if we just look at the first and second team pitchers we had 4 and A&M had 3. A&M finished 9 or so games back.. Of course two of their pitchers were relief, and again a starting pitcher has a disproportionate impact on a game vs a relief pitcher.

At any rate, Texas kicked some serious ass.
