Evaluating No. 2 Texas baseball using advanced statistics

The No. 2 Texas Longhorns have had quite a surprising turn of events in this past week of baseball, both with the upset from the Texas State Bobcats in their midweek series as well as losing one of their best pitchers, Tanner Witt, out for the season due to Tommy John surgery.

However, this next week Texas is slated to play some easy games against the College of Charleston and The Citadel. Closing the week, they will have a three-game series hosting the University of Incarnate Word back at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.

I was intrigued to investigate how some of the top trending sabermetrics used in the MLB fared in predicting performance in D1 baseball.
