SEC Career Hits Record Thread

[She Mate Me]

I want to keep up with this as the season progresses, so I'm going to start this thread and just edit it periodically (every game, unless I'm drunk or hungover). That way maybe it won't get too long in terms of replies. It will have to be bumped occasionally to be seen...

Lotta guys bunched up from 303 to 314 hits on the SEC list. Jake should move into the Top 15 pretty quickly if he keeps his normal pace.

Thru games of 3/17...

Jake 306 hits (21st SEC, 5th MSU), .365 (31-85 this season, 5-14 in Series Win @ Florida)

AD 295 hits, .329 (27-82 this season, 2-14 in Series Sweep of UK)

I wish there was line graph showing their trajectory toward the goal.

 

[dickiedawg]

I can't think about Duplantis without hearing his name in the voice of a 10-year old (or so) kid who announced a half inning at their park when we played there a few years ago.
ANN-twan DuPLANTis!!!

Just random, but funny to me.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Why are some of these listed with number of at bats while others are listed with number of games? That's very odd to me.

 

[She Mate Me]

Don't know, but noticed an error pretty quickly. Todd Walker's hit total is right, but it was in 783 ABs, not 713.

Still, 310 hits in 3 seasons? Damn! Forgot how good that guy was. Burke too.

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

Didn't realize we had so many Bulldogs on that list. Amazing.

A couple of big common denominators on that list. All except Todd Walker were 4 year players....and NONE of them were impact MLB players. The closest was perhaps Todd Walker, who was never an All-Star in 13 or 14 years in the show, and Mark Ellis who was known way more for his glove than his bat. These records are so often set by great college players who work hard, but don’t quite have the size or tools to make it as impact guys in the big leagues.

Hopefully Mangum fares better than the others, but the odds aren’t in his (or DuPlantis’) favor. None of that should be taken as a knock on Jake...he’s one of my all-time favorite bulldogs. I just found it interesting that the Top 25ish hitters in SEC history were mostly never heard from again.

 

[biodawg]

I grew up in Natchez, and my dad being an LSU fan, me and my dad would go down to the Box and watch LSU a lot of weekends. Todd Walker was one of my favorites to watch. Such a great player, on both the offensive and defensive side.

 

[MarkDallas]

I wish there was line graph showing their trajectory toward the goal.

I have something similar I made for work, let me see if I can adapt it.

 

[She Mate Me]

There's 300 Hits!! Nice 3-4 night going for "the Magnum"

 

[msudawg12]

Make that 4-5 tonight

Duplantis has 2 so far in the 6th

Really was hoping rowdy might break through tonight prior to conference play

 

[Shamoan]

Pretty sure Jeff Rea never made an out. That cat was constantly on base

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I can still hear the guys in LFL

Pretty sure Jeff Rea never made an out. That cat was constantly on base

Yelling “hit that ball J Rea!”

 

[MarkDallas]

I have something similar I made for work, let me see if I can adapt it.

Ok I think this is going to work. I can't post from my phone, I'll do it when I get home.

Does anybody know what the most possible games there are in the season, including all tournaments?

 

[MarkDallas]

Also can someone break down his number of hits in each game so far? I can't do it at work.

 

[8dog]

Mangum and duplaintis will be the first to play their entire career in the bbcor era and make that list

 

[RutherfordBHayes]

I wish there was line graph showing their trajectory toward the goal.

Some fella on the Twitter has a graph going. He’s following Mangum and Duplantis with the SEC and MSU records on the graph.

I don’t know how to imbed tweets, but he’s
@MangumsChase

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Not trying to steal that person's thunder, but I was able to copy and paste the the latest image. I hope he keeps that feed up.

 

[drumrcraig]

I don't think this is what the poster was asking for though. A line graph would actually show trends of how quickly each player is approaching the total, so you could easily see if one of the two players is currently on a tear and progressing toward the record at a faster rate than the other.

 

[Cap'n Geech]

	career hits	2019 games	2019 hits	2019 games remaining*	projected career hits**
Jake Mangum	314	22	39	33	373
Antoine Duplantis	295	21	27	35	340

<tbody>
</tbody>

*-does not include postseason
**-based on 2019 hits per game and regular season games remaining

Obviously, both teams are expected to play in the postseason. This is a projection of where the players might stand entering the postseason.

as of March 21st

 

[MarkDallas]

Yeah that graph sucks.

Does anybody know how to post images from a phone?

Ok the image didn't export very gracefully, but this is it.

The "steady" line is what it would look like if he got the exact same number of hits in every game and broke the record on the last day of the regular season. So basically, he needs to end above that line. I guessed on the potential number of post season games. This is based on hits per game, not batting average. I can adjust the number of games that it uses for the "projected by last x" line.

I can do a version with both of them on it.

 

[The Fatboy]

So the solid blue line is Mangum?

Yeah, I just read the word "graph." I'm not real sharp sober.*

I believe they are all Mangum, offering 3 different scenarios. The yellow/orange dotted line is the projection for Jake if he continues at the level he's shown the past 6 games. The steady blue is his actual career hits to date, with the dotted-blue being what his projection would be if he maintains the rate he's shown since his first AB this year. The steady red line is what it would take for Jake to get the record by the end of the regular season.

 

[The Fatboy]

Yeah I understood that part I was just talkin about the solid blue Line being where Mangum currently is

 

[She Mate Me]

Welp, so much for keeping the thread short and simple.

I'm kidding, but I for one don't need the level of precision discussed here. I'm happy to just keep my simple stat post updated.

Just as happy if somebody else wants to create something more detailed and maintain it.

I'm easy.

 

[The Fatboy]

Thanks for doing this. Watching the competition like this is a lot more fun than raw numbers. Thanks for the effort.

Awesome. Didn't realize Duplantis wasn't projected to break the record (at least in the regular season).

 

[engie]

A couple of big common denominators on that list. All except Todd Walker were 4 year players....and NONE of them were impact MLB players.

It's worth noting that scoring in college baseball over Mangum's career has been 5.4-5.7 runs per game. The scoring was over 6 runs per game for 1978-2010. And there were two true gopher ball eras of modern college baseball where it approached and once surpassed 7 runs per game: 1997, 98, 99, 09, 10.

On the top 23 list, only Preston Tucker spent any part of his career in the current dead ball era, and that was just his last two years, while his first two were played in a gopher ball era, but to be fair Tucker's BBCOR part was a lot worse than Mangum having played his entire career since the ball change. 16 of the top 23 played at least part of their career in one of those two gopher ball eras of college baseball.

Where he's at is even more impressive when you look at it compared to historical hitting. Of course, Mangum's style lends itself to a dead ball era. I honestly think a real live ball era would have hurt him in some ways...

 

[MarkDallas]

Awesome. Didn't realize Duplantis wasn't projected to break the record (at least in the regular season).

He got really hot there for a while and would have broken it mid season on that pace. But he's cooled off recently, starting with when they got swept.

A lot of games left to be played. I'm sure it will be back and forth.

 

[PCHSDawg]

Can we get this stickied?

 

[msudawg12]

May have been mentioned but its no small deal that mangum will bat leadoff compared to where duplantis is in their order. Over the course of the year, that should amount to 20 or more extra AB’s if games were even
