At about the midpoint of the 2022 baseball season, the Ohio State Buckeyes find themselves near the bottom of the Big Ten standings with a 2-5 record. If you’re interested, Rutgers at 8-1 and Illinois at 7-3 lead the pack, and only Minnesota (1-5) sits below the Buckeyes. (Note: this was written prior to the OSU-Maryland game on Friday night.)
With the loss to Dayton this past Tuesday, the Buckeyes are 11-18 overall for the season. It’s hard to pinpoint a single, or even a consistent area of concern. Rather, OSU just seems to have difficulty combining their pitching with their hitting.
