NOTEWORTHY
β’ UW Rankings: Collegiate Baseball News (26th); Β also receiving votes in USA Today Coaches Poll (31st)
β’ Pac-12 Streak: UW has won each of their last seven Pac-12 series, dating back to 2018. It is the longest current streak in the Conference. The next longest streak: two by UCLA and ASU. The last time UW dropped a Pac-12 series: April 20-22 at Cal.
β’ Home Sweet Home: The Huskies are a perfect 6-0 at Husky Ballpark after sweeping USC last weekend. It marks the third-straight year that UW has swept its Pac-12 home-opening series.
β’ Kahle Tough To K: Junior Nick Kahle ranks third in the Pac-12 with 23 walks (6 intentionally) and has struck out only 8 times. Kahle struck out Tuesday at Gonzaga after going the previous 8 games without any K's. During that same eight-game stretch, he walked 12 times.
β’ Iron Man Kahle: Nick Kahle has started 81 straight games, which is even more amazing considering his main position is catcher. He's made 77 of those starts at catcher, two in left field and two at designated hitter.
β’ UW Pitchers In Control: UW pitcher's are once again showing remarkable control on the mound. The Huskies lead the Pac-12 in fewest walks allowed (53), fewest wild pitches (6) and are tied for second lowest total of hit batters (10). They led the Pac-12 in all three of those categories in 2018, despite 8 extra post-season games.Β
β’ Micheles Going K-razy: Chris Micheles has been dominant out of the bullpen with 28 K's in 17 IP. His 14.8 strikeouts per 9 innings would rank 4th nationally if he qualified. He has struck out at least two batters in 9 of 13 appearances.
β’ Pays To Steal: The Huskies are 25-of-27 (93% success) in stolen base attempts this season, thanks in large part to Pac-12 leader Braiden Ward (17-for-19). Conversely, opponents are 5-for-10 (50% success) in stolen bases against the Huskies. Chris Magruder had a school record 43 in 1997 over 66 games. Ward led the entire Pac-12 as a freshman with 19 stolen bases, which broke Magruder's UW freshman record of 17 stolen bases.
β’ Big Run Differentials: In UW's 14 wins, they are averaging 9.1 runs per game, but in their six losses the Huskies are averaging 1.9 runs (+7.2). UW has scored nine or more runs seven times but conversely have been shutout twice, 1-0. They are averaging 6.7 runs in 20 games, holding opponents to 3.3 runs (+3.4).Β
β’ Jones Milestones: Junior Jordan Jones has passed the 150 strikeout and 200 inning plateaus for his career. He is just outside of the Huskies top-10 lists in both categories. He is 34 K's away from becoming the sixth player in UW history to go 200/200 in both categories.
