BB G1: Louisiana 14, App St 3

Just to throw in another name:

Dex Kjerstad (2013) - .388, 14 2B, 3 3B, 12 HR, 44 RBI, 1.039 OPS

Yep. Another great season.

But for perspective of what Roccaforte is doing, he’s at .369 with 11 HRs and 51 RBIs right now.

And there’s 15 games left…in the regular season.

Kid is having an amazing season

Roccaforte has been amazing. You could see the flashes last year and he's really killing the ball this year.

Hes done it on his own. Hasnt had much protection until a week or so ago. Thats the crazy thing

[GoneGolfin]

Neither. I think we need to sweep. Win 2/3 and we might lose ground. Hopefully our opponents do well.

I am no expert. Brian is your man.

Beating App State tonight helped a little. It was the performance of opponents that brought the Cajuns from .5710 down to .5691 tonight. Resulting in a drop from #40 to #41. This stuff tends to even itself out over the course of games. Just keep winning. A sweep and I expect that the Cajuns' RPI will move up very modestly (everything else being constant, it will).

We were down to 38 on WN when the game ended. By the time I went to bed we were back to 43. That seems like a lot of movement. I guess a lot of our opponents lost last night?

Any word if we play a DH today? Jay mentioned weather for sunday

I am no swing guru, but Roccaforte's swing looks very smooth. He has little head movement and clears the hips effortlessly. He does not look like he swings with effort, but the ball is hit very hard, very often. He looks like a pro baseball player to me.

Low effort, quick bat, flat path combined with elite hand eye coordination to find the barrel and ability to hit to all fields.

It is not a lot of movement when you consider the actual RPI values. There was not much separation post game.

UC-Irvine then came in with a late loss vs. Long Beach State.

Roccaforte was committed to Sam Houston at one point. I assume he followed Deggs here. He sort of reminds me of Lucroy at the plate, except for hitting lefty. Like Lucroy, he was under-rated out of high school and would star on any college team.

He could play the game for a very long time.

I think Rocco might be the most complete player we’ve had in a very long time. Hits for average, power, steals bases.

I was talking about this last night with a friend. He also has over 200 defensive chances without an error…and has played 5 different positions if you count the appearance he made on the mound.
