Kling led off a good bit early in the season against non SEC teams when LSU was beating lesser teams and piled up stats. In SEC play he is hitting .170 with a .291 OBP. Both very low.

Kling is fine in midweek games but a bust on weekends.
Klinger led off in both wins against Missouri and both wins against Auburn, so at least 4 of the wins were in SEC play.

That does beg the question: If the plan was to bat him 8th or 9th in the SEC, why was he leading off so many games in OOC and midweek?

The plan was to bat him leadoff at beginning of season and he hit inferior pitching well but when SEC play started he fell on his face and was moved to bottom of order.Against 2 of weakest teams in conference Jay moved him back to leadoff. Why who knows? But the results are .170 BA and .291 OBP.

In those 4 wins

Kling went

0-3, 2ks, no walks
0-3, 1k, 1 walk
2-5, 2ks, no walks
1-4, 0ks, 1 walk

So in those 4 wins he was

.200 BA / .300 OBP / 5 ks / 2 walks


Yeh, don’t think that contributed much

But you have to play 3 outfielders

After Larson and Pearson it’s Kling
