No Top Ten Nittany Lions?
You might have noticed that the PSU guys were noticeably absent from the top ten lists in my previous post. We actually happen to be the only school that did not have a player appear on one of the lists. There is a way to find many of our guys though – turn the lists upside down (for the record, to qualify for consideration in the lists that I have a player must have made a minimum of three plate appearances per game played by his school – 74 guys meet that criteria).
I’m going to spare embarrassing the team by listing the bottom ten in each of the six categories that I put up in my top ten list post. Suffice it to say that there are multiple PSU guys in every bottom list.
However, there is one in particular that I do want to show – the RBI list.
There were eight Penn State players that met the three plate appearance criteria. Fully HALF of them are in the bottom ten RBI list. This isn’t meant to point fingers just at those four players because it’s hard to get an RBI if your teammates aren’t going to get on base for you. It takes a team effort to be this bad at driving in runs.
