Introduction

BYU baseball is a treasure trove for statisticians. The team has been one of the most successful programs in the country over the last decade, and their fans are among the most passionate and engaged in all of college baseball The sheer volume of data that is available for BYU baseball games is staggering, and the level of detail is truly impressive.

For stat geeks like me, this is a dream come true. I have spent countless hours poring over BYU baseball statistics and I have to say that I ve learned a lot about the game in the process. In this article, I will share some of the things that I have learned about BYU baseball through my statistical analysis.

The Team

In 2014, the Brigham Young University (BYU) baseball team had one of the most successful seasons in school history. They won a school-record 42 games and made it to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2001. The team was led by All-American third baseman Jacob Hannemann and ace pitcher Matt Bundy.

Statistically, the team was very strong, ranking in the top 25 in several offensive categories. They were especially good at hitting home runs ranking 14th in the nation with 61. On the pitching side, they were 23rd in ERA at 3.34.

The Stats

Your love for baseball may have started with the simple game of catch in the backyard with family or friends. As you grew older, perhaps you played T-Ball, then Little League. Maybe you were even lucky enough to play in High School or college. But whether you play(ed) the game or just enjoy watching it, baseball is a complex sport that is fascinating to study.

One of the things that makes baseball so interesting is that there are so many statistics. Statistics can tell us not only who the best players are, but also which teams are most likely to win and how they are likely to win. In fact, some people believe that baseball is the most statistic-heavy sport there is.

Whether you are a casual fan or a die-hard devotee, understanding baseball statistics can make watching the game more enjoyable and help you understand what is happening on the field.

The Fans

Mormons love baseball In Provo, home of Brigham Young University (BYU), attendance at College Games often rivals that of professional games. Cougar fans are passionate and die-hard, and they love toStatsutes. The team’s season probably won’t end in the World Series but for Mormon baseball fans it’s the next best thing.

BYU is known for having one of the most successful college baseball programs in the country. The team has won 27 conference championships and made 11 trips to the NCAA Tournament including two College World Series appearances. Mormons love to watch their team dominate on the diamond, and they’re not afraid to show their support by wearing BYU gear to work or decorating their homes with BYU pennants and posters.

Whether you’re a Mormon baseball fan or not, you have to admit that BYU stats are pretty impressive.

The Schedule

The 2017 BYU baseball schedule is set. The Cougars will play a 56-game regular-season schedule, which includes 27 home games four games against in-state rivals and a 13-game West Coast Conference slate. BYU will begin the 2017 season with a four-game homestand, hosting Navy (Feb. 17-19) and Saint Mary’s (Feb. 24-26) at Larry H. Miller Field.

The Rivalry

The BYU-Utah Baseball rivalry is one of the most heated in college baseball The two teams have been playing each other since 1896 and the games are always hotly contested. In fact, the two teams have met in the postseason four times, with BYU winning three of those meetings.

The most recent meeting between the two teams was in 2018, when BYU won the game 9-8 in Extra Innings The Cougars were down 8-7 in the bottom of the ninth inning but a home run by Baylor Romney tied the game and sent it to extra innings In the bottom of the 10th inning, Utah’s pitcher hit BYU’s catcher, which allowed Romney to score from third base and give BYU the win.

The rivalry is so intense that when BYU joins a new conference (like it did when it joined the West Coast Conference), Utah often follows suit so that they can continue to play each other.

Whether you’re a fan of BYU or Utah, there’s no denying that this is one of the most exciting rivalries in college baseball
