SEC career hits race update..

[thekimmer]

Record is 349

Jake Mangum 286 hits

Antoine Duplantis 280 hits

Long way to go. Gonna be an interesting race.

I think it will get broken by both players this year. Hope Mangum can come out on top.

Going to depend on who makes the deepest post season run, IMO.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

Assuming Jake plays every game this season, he'll play in at least 52 more games. That's 1.21 hits per game needed. If he averages 4 at bats, he needs to hit .303 for the rest of the season. That seems well within reach for him.

Probably. Particularly if one team goes a couple of levels beyond the other...

Going to depend on who makes the deepest post season run, IMO.

Duplantis has been pretty consistent with 89, 90, and 89 hits in 3 years

Mangum has been a climber with 84, 90, and 101 in 3 years

The trend favors Jake but who knows.

One thing that is impressive to me that we have made it to three consecutive supers under three different coaches and Jake Mangum has been a constant in all of them.

And played half a season with a broken hand

I was nervous seeing him steal 3rd last night on a first pitch.

Duplantis has opened strong. Hitting .400 with 3 homers and 18 RBIs.

I noticed that even in a blowout, Lemonis kept Jake in the game for another AB tonight. I'm guessing he doesn't rest Jake much at all in order to give him a chance at the record. As long as it doesn't affect the team, I'm all for trying to reward one of the all-time great Bulldogs.

And played half a season with a broken hand

Which he was directly responsible for.

 

[Xenomorph]

Even by early season standards LSU's schedule has been a joke. Their 2 toughest games (S. Alabama and NW St.) were rained out. I'm interested to see how they fare in 3 games against Texas this weekend.

Jake 2-4 last night for 288 hits.
