I know many people here love to shite on Kling, but he's improved a lot this month. If posters are going to complain about every at-bat, then they should at least be informed.
Month of April (12 games in the lineup)
10 for 37 (.270 BA)
6 doubles
9 walks, 1 HBP (.426 OB%)
2 stolen bases
Those aren't great numbers, nor are they bad numbers. Jay plays him b/c of his glove, he's fast, and he gets on base. He has a OB% for the season AND conference play over Bingham, Pearson, & Milam.
The team is 16-1 with Kling in the leadoff spot for the season. I'd like to see his BA a little higher as well. But the guy gets on base and hustles his arse off every play.

Some players need to be sat to get out of a slump. Some need added pressure and more playing time. Kling is showing how great he really is. If he stays after this season, he will be a key piece next season. His talent level may be the best on the team.

He’s been better this month at the plate and I get why Jay keeps him in the lineup. It’s got to be a mental thing with Kling at the plate. He seems to have trouble recognizing pitches and guesses way too often. When he guesses right he gets good results. It’s frustrating to watch though because he does have talent.

I thought Kling would have a better year, but I don’t want him out of the line up. I’d ride or die with Kling. He’s is going to be a damn good player.

Anyone who is an LSU fan wants Kling to turn it around. Coach JJ was counting on him to be a big part of this team. He needs to start showing his potential. I hope he hits .300 the rest of the way.

I think most of us are rooting for the guy since he was such a highly touted prospect, but he is definitely not a leadoff hitter. He strikes out 36% of the time (37/106) which is ridiculous. Larsen belongs at that spot and I think you will see that soon. Kling needs to be 8 or 9 in the lineup.

Glad he waited until late April to get his shite together

I'm definitely no expert in statistics, but could the improvement be attributed to facing weaker baseball teams? Other than the Tennessee game where he only got 1 hit, the teams they faced weren't exactly contenders.

This is a fair post. I needed to hear this.

You are out of your mind!
Posted on 4/27/24 at 9:39 pm to notbilly
Dude his BA is 217 overall. His out of conference is better than in SEC. You ever heard of a slump?

I watch every game so I’m def “informed”. Il shite on Kling until he turns it around. He can’t hit.
I hope he turns it around. The team will benefit huge from it.

I really like klings swing. But you can’t convince me there isn’t something going on with his vision. He should be drilling the ball but instead he’s being fooled way too easily.
