Opposition Research - Nebraska-Kearney
Maryville, Mo. - Your Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats baseball team will travel into the great State of Nebraska to play the Nebraska-Kearney Lopers on Tuesday, March 22, 2016. First pitch is set for 3pm. The game will be played at Memorial Field, 3311 8th Avenue in Kearney. Memorial Field has a seating capacity of 2,000 and opened in 1946. The Bearcats and Lopers will play a single nine inning game.
UNK background -
Nebraska-Kearney is a rather recent addition to the MIAA and have terrific varsity athletic programs. The Lopers joined the MIAA in the 2012-2013 academic year according to the MIAA's website. Nebraska-Kearney's baseball team has done very well since joining the MIAA. After a solid season in their first baseball season in the MIAA in 2013 (finishing 10th), UNK finished in 6th place in the 2014 and 2015 seasons. With the 6th place finishes in each of the past two seasons, UNK qualified for the MIAA baseball post-season tournament. In each of the past two post-season tournaments, the Lopers lost in the first round having been swept by UCO (2014) and UCM (2015).
UNK just finished a weekend series at UCM where the Mules won 2 of 3 games. UNK and Northwest have only played one common MIAA conference opponent in Lincoln University and both squads swept the Blue Tigers.
Having no confirmation whatsoever, it appears UNK's mid-week starter is Tanner Spencer. UNK has 4 pitchers that have started a game in 2016. 3 of those 4 all started this past weekend at UCM leaving Spencer the likely option for Tuesday's game.
NWMSU background -
Northwest just finished a weekend sweep of the Lincoln University Blue Tigers. The Bearcats have won 3 of the 4 MIAA conference series so far in 2016. In the one MIAA conference series the Bearcats lost, Washburn, the series came down to the third game to decide it in favor of the Ichabods after Northwest won Game 1 and Washburn won Game 2.
The B2R is excited to see who gets the starting nod for Northwest in Tuesday's game. Austin Battaglia got the start last mid-week game at Quincy University but had a tough day. Another starting option is Hondo Pearcy but he pitched at Quincy and also had a tough day. Could Tuesday be the day Nikko Pablo gets his first start for Northwest in 2016? Nikko is tied for the most appearances for Northwest in 2016 and has an outstanding ERA of 3.80 and nearly a 2/1 walk/strike-out ratio. Regardless who is tabbed the starter on Tuesday, I'm sure Austin and Hondo will be ready if called upon.
NWMSU/UNK match-up analysis -
Regarding Tuesday's game, this is a huge match-up between two teams battling for the post-season. Nebraska-Kearney and Northwest are currently tied for 3rd place in the MIAA. The MIAA baseball coaches ranked UNK 7th in the 2016 pre-season baseball poll. Northwest was ranked to finish 12th. Both squads have exceeded expectations to this point in the season. A preliminary review of the two teams' strengths puts a potent UNK offense versus the stingy NWMSU defense. The wild card in Tuesday's match-up in this mid-week game preceding an upcoming weekend Conference series is the quality of each school's #4 starting pitchers. The big question heading into Tuesday's game is - will Northwest #4 starter be better than UNK's offense or will UNK's #4 starter be better than Northwest's offense?
The other compelling issue for each teams' head coaches - How long do you let your starters go in this game? 1x through the line-up, 2x through the line-up, 3 innings, 4 innings, 5 innings, XX number of runs allowed?
Northwest's pitching staff is statistically performing better than UNK's staff. However, UNK's offense has scored 57 more runs than Northwest in one less game. Defensively, Northwest's defense is performing better than UNK's. Can Northwest's pitchers induce grounders or will UNK's offense spray liners into the outfield?
Having not seen UNK in live action in 2016, it appears the Lopers have an unusually high number of batters being hit by a pitch (average 2+ per game). The B2R is deducting the Lopers crowd the plate to take away the inside pitch then look to smoke a liner when the opposing pitcher makes a mistake out and over the plate. The other consequence of crowding the plate is a pitcher making a mistake inside results in the UNK batter getting hit by the pitch.
In this game, the Northwest pitching staff cannot surrender the inside pitch. Being effectively wild may be a necessary and effective strategy against the Lopers. Saw off the bats and make the Lopers feel uncomfortable. College baseball players can take a fast ball in the back...but they don't like it at the knees.
Pitching and defense have been Northwest's calling card all season. Northwest's pitching staff's job is to induce grounders. The defense is to not allow extra outs and thereby keep the pitch counts down. The Bearcats offense needs to get on base then get in the Lopers' heads through stealing, fake stealing, hit and run, bunts, and spraying the baseball into the outfield. Get the Lopers defense thinking and make them work.
