After a dismal night where we saw TTU pitching allow 3 runs on wild pitches alone, I went back as far as TexasTech.com will let me to find out if there are any trends since Gardner took the helm as TTU pitching coach.
2015 - Ray Hayward (31-24) - 3.33 ERA
K - 418 - 7.60 per game.
BB - 215 - 3.91 per game.
(No stats could be found on HBP or WP from this season)
2016 - Ray Hayward (47-20) - 4.13 ERA
K - 441 - 6.58 per game.
BB - 259 - 3.87 per game.
HBP - 70 - 1.04 per game.
WP - 75 - 1.12 per game.
2017 - Matt Gardner (45-17) - 3.73 ERA
K - 559 - 9.02 per game.
BB - 271 - 4.37 per game.
HBP - 59 - .95 per game.
WP - 59 - .95 per game.
2018 - Matt Gardner (45-20) - 4.48 ERA
K - 565 - 8.69 per game.
BB - 337 - 5.18 per game.
HBP - 63 - .97 per game.
WP - 63 - .97 per game.
2019 - Matt Gardner (46-20) - 4.01 ERA
K - 632 - 9.58 per game.
BB - 278 - 4.21 per game.
HBP - 61 - .92 per game.
WP - 69 - 1.05 per game.
2021 - Matt Gardner(31-12) - 4.50 ERA
K - 407 - 9.47 per game.
BB - 174 - 4.05 per game.
HBP - 42 - .98 per game.
WP - 51 - 1.20 per game.
We clearly shifted to more strikeout pitching type guys. But overall I didn't see the drastic jump in BB/HBP/WP that I thought I would. Injuries this season turned out to be just devastating. Strikeouts improved by about 2 per game. 2021 wild pitches are the highest in the 6 years I dug up.
Just win the series. Last night left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Especially after jumping out big.
