Good stuff here from stewhog. I'll add some cliffs below.
- The Hogs' 6.8 runs per game ranks 146th nationally.
- As of May 6th in their respective seasons, former national champs rankings in scoring: 2017 Florida (225th), 2015 Virginia (153rd), 2013 UCLA (205th).
- Those Florida and UCLA teams ranked 14th in ERA as of May 6 in their respective seasons. Arkansas currently ranks 2nd.
- Arkansas currently ranks 15th nationally in average run differential, which is better than 6 of the last 10 national champs.
- Worst season in run production since 2014 for Arkansas so far.
- Run production improved in each of Nate Thompson's first three seasons, but the same can't be said for the last three.
- Since Tony Vitello left Arkansas as hitting coach ahead of the 2018 season, he's helped Tennessee to lead the SEC in runs per game.
- Runs scored by Arkansas in the five season-ending postseason losses since Thompson took over as hitting coach: 0, 4, 2, 0, 4
- Since Vitello got to Tennessee, the Vols have averaged 6.27 runs/game in the NCAA Tournament. In the same span, Arkansas has averaged 7.31 runs/game in the NCAAT. To take it further, Arkansas is averaging 7.26 runs/game in the regular season during that span, compared to 7.69 for the Vols — so the the Hogs are actually scoring more in the NCAAT than regular season (smaller sample size).
