Big Ten Conference Recap: Michigan Pitching
Posted: September 7, 2010 Filed under: Michigan 4 Comments »The team pitching recaps from the 2010 season are all linked to under the 2010 Season Recap tab. This is the fifth installment, focusing on the Michigan Wolverines.
The Michigan Wolverines finished second in Big Ten play with a 14-10 record (35-22 overall). In my look at league-wide, team-level pitching we saw Michigan posted above-average strikeout numbers but struggled with walks and hit batters. Combining their raw numbers with their hitting numbers, I had estimated that U of M gave up the fourth most runs in the conference (including non-conference play) while having the second highest estimated runs total.
In reality, Michigan scored the most runs, but were middle of the pack in runs allowed. Here’s their pitchers raw data.
