KSU Booze Cats

i  think I may have watched my first college baseball game on sunday when we played semo (suck it, KORN).

my first impression is that the field is too small.

They were talking about that on the radio that it's a pretty short porch for the entire field in Arkansas.

320 to left is a bit silly

what specifically does a “short porch” mean?  it sounds like a hell of a put down.

It's a lot like the front porch that nic talked about last year.

sd giving his house out and not making it gE command post is pretty disappointing and if you folks don't think it has created a rift amongst ownership, you are wrong.

So, I worked for Wates and the K-State Baseball Analytics team, the 21-22 school year. I am going to give you all the information on Disharoon Park and what I see just from looking at a quick scout since that is what I would have done for the analytics department each game. Before I went on to win two back to back SB rings with KCCFC.

Some tidbits that suck and don't suck.
Pete Hughes is 2-7 in Disharoon Park when coaching Virginia Tech
Jacob Ference (UVA's Catcher) is UVA's best player, transferred from Division III Salisbury. Dude has the best OPS (1.203), slashing .362/.469/.734 with 17 homers, 13 doubles and 41 RBIs. 
Kansas State has the 10th most stolen bases in the country and is FAST. Jacob Ference has thrown out 11 of 50 base stealers (22 percent) for UVA which could pose a problem if we get on base.

My passion project was we programmed something like this for the coaches in Python. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/statcast-venue?venueId=2392
But for NCAA Stadiums

Opponent: Virginia
Conference: ACC

GameTime:7PM Local Time/6PM CST

Wind Direction and Speed: Out of the W -> at 5 to 10mph

370ft to Right Center/Scoreboard Area
404ft to True Center/Batters Eye

330ft down the 3rd Baseline

I am absolutely pumped for this group of dudes as they set off to do what has never been done before. Go to a College World Series.

Cool stuff...

I know that many of the southern schools have full-time data analysts (no idea about the size of the support staffs/students).

Generally speaking, are we out-gunned/out-manned as far as the analytics go (either in people or budget)?

Yes, we definitely were. We aren't now as they now have a Full Time GA and the Undergrad Assistant and the 7 or 8 other Undergrad Volunteers.
Budget wise for sure because I wasn't paid. I was a volunteer finishing up school post covid

My friends that I made with the K-State Baseball team are great people. Three of us work in professional sports in some capacity. Others got invaluable experience that led to Data Analytics jobs after KSU

[DaBigTrain]

I’ve got a reminder in my phone to watch the game!

[steve dave]

We just got to the ball field but I can assure you I will be monitoring the game closely and talking to our bench full of Husker fans about it A LOT
