Illinois Baseball: Who’s Hot & Who’s Cold
FightingIllini.comAs Illinois gets deeper in the season, it’s always a good idea to look at some of the Illini’s numbers. Here are a list of players who have been doing well, and some who haven’t done as well.
Who’s Hot
Andy Fisher
ERA: 3.35, W-L: 3-1, IP: 48.1, SO: 51 BB: 17
Despite a loss to Maryland on Friday night, Fisher pitched eight shutout innings, his longest outing of the season and a career-high outing of 8.1 innings. The lefty is a key part of Illinois’ rotation. Left-handed pitchers prove to have more movement and are more effective against left-handed hitters, which we saw when the three lefties in Maryland’s lineup were 0-for-9 with five strikeouts against Fisher.
