- His .438 OBP in league games was also tops on the team and ninth in the Pac-12 and tops among league catchers.
USE THE FORCE, LUKE

JACOB'S LADDER

- He had the massive go-ahead RBI in the rubber match against Cal with his eighth inning RBI single that was part of a massive nine-run inning to complete the comeback. He would do the exact same less than two weeks later with a two-RBI single against GCU to cap off ASU's nine-run eighth inning with the go-ahead RBIs in that game as well as part of the team's seven-run comeback.
- He is tied for first on the team with four game-winning/go-ahead RBIs this season.
- He has homered twice in his last four games as the power is starting to come along.
- His 87 defensive assists are tied for third in the Pac-12.
NOT SO QUIET WYATT
- Transfer Wyatt Crenshaw posted video game numbers last season at Colorado College and has quickly shown that was no fluke, speaking plenty loud with his bat despite saying approximately 18 total words in post-game press conferences this season.
- Crenshaw is batting .295 on the season, slugging .504 with five homers, a triple and 12 doubles - the latter good for second in the Pac-12 and 59th in the nation.

- Crenshaw has been at his best late in games, with a .500 batting average/.667 slugging percentage in the seventh innings and a .438 average/.688 slugging in the eighth inning of games this season - both numbers his highest in any inning of games.
WHO'S THE NU'U GUY
- It was a quiet start for true freshman Nu'u Contrades but he has swung one of the hottest bats in the country over the last month.
- Contrades is up to a .349 average on the year after sitting below the Mendoza line after the March 7 loss at Oklahoma State.
- The .349 average is Top-25 among all freshmen in the country this season and 12th in the Pac-12. His 30 RBIs are ninth.
- In league-only games, Contrades has 18 RBIs - second-most in the Pac-12. His 431 average in Pac-12 games is also second in the league and his .724 slugging percentage in Pac-12 games is third in the league.
- Contrades was the Pac-12 Player of the Week after he single-handedly propelled ASU to victory in the series clinching win on Saturday against rival Arizona, going 3-for-5 with a career-best five RBIs - including the go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning. He followed that up with a 4-for-5 outing with another bomb and three RBIs in the series sweeping win on Sunday. He led the team with 10 RBIs (of 31 total for the week for ASU) with a .947 slugging percentage while batting .474 on 9-of-19 hitting.

- For the season, the bullpen is posting a 4.69 ERA with a 15-3 record in decisions and nine saves. The squad has 149 strikeouts to 71 walks and is holding opponents to .240 batting. For comparison, the 2022 Sun Devil bullpen had a 6.71 ERA for the season with a 13-19 record in decisions with 231 strikeouts to 170 walks and a .299 average against.

He added two in the first four games this season and tacked on a win for good measure.The 10 saves last season were tied for seventh-most at ASU since the 1998 season and marked the first time a closer reached double digits in the category at ASU since 2016.
- Christian Bodlovich has inherited 73 runners in his career at ASU, with only 24 scoring (32.9 percent), including an 11-for-37 tally last season.
PLAYING THE FIELD

- For the third straight season, the majority of position players on the diamond are new faces with only Will Rogers (left field) and Ryan Campos (catcher) starting the season reprising their roles from last year. ASU had just two players start last season in the same position they finished in 2021 (Joe Lampe in CF, Nate Baez at C and Sean McLain at 2B, though McLain was playing shortstop by the second weekend while Baez moved around the field by Week Two as well). ASU's only veteran starter in 2021 was Drew Swift - who shifted over to shortstop after spending the majority of his career at second base. All other positions on the diamond that season replaced by newcomers.

HEADED TO THE GAP
- ASU got a slow start in the doubles category this season but has come on hot of late. The team has 52 in its last 22 games after posted just 13 in the first 11 of the season.
- That has brought ASU back up to 81st in the NCAA in doubles and fourth in the league (65). On March 5, ASU was 252nd in the nation in the category.
- The team has recorded a double in 27 of 33 games overall with multiple doubles in 16 of those.
- The Sun Devils recorded 134 doubles last year, good for 19th in the nation and third in the Pac-12. The 127 doubles during the regular season were the most for a Sun Devil team in the REGULAR SEASON in the BBCOR era (since 2011) and tied for the fifth-most in a regular season since 1998.
- ASU had at least one double in all but six games last season and multiple doubles in 36 of 58 games.

CHICKS DIG THE LONG BALL
- 12 different players have logged a home run for ASU and eight have multiple home runs.
- ASU's 46 homers are second in the Pac-12 and Top-50 nationally.
- The better news is ASU has finally started the get knocks with runners on base. 19 of ASU's last 30 home runs have had at least one runner on base after 14 of the teams first 17 homers this season were solo shots. Seven of those homers in the last 30 were of the leadoff variety as well, not giving there any opportunity to have a runner on base.

- ASU recorded seven homers against Washington State, which had entered the series leading the Pac-12 with onlt 14 allowed through its first 27 games.

- ASU had five players with at least seven homers last year, tied for the second-most at ASU since 1998.
- The timing of the home runs improved immesely over the second half of the last season. On 24 of the final 37 homers on the year, ASU had at least one runner on base. That was notable as ASU had runners on base just eight times on the teams first 27 homers. ASU will hope for some deja vu in that area with 14 solo homers on 17 home runs this season.
- The Sun Devils had four grand slams last year - the most it had had in a season since 2004 (also four).
COMING IN HOT
- The Sun Devil bats are sitting near the top of the league in most offensive categories.

- ASU is second in the Pac-12 behind only Stanford (8) with seven players with 17 or more RBIs this season.
HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS
- ASU has its part to shake off some of that bad mojo from last season in close games thus far, going 5-2 in one-run games (after going just 1-7 in such games last season) and 13-2 in games decided by three runs or less - a category ASU was 14-16 in a year ago.
- ASU has trailed at one point in 12 of its last 15 victories and in 14 of the team's wins overall this year.
- ASU has been incredibly efficient at closing games out, going 20-2 when leading after six, 21-1 when leading after seven and 22-0 when leading after eight.
- While ASU's bullpen has excelled, ASU batters have been elite at getting to other team's bullpens this year. ASU is batting .309 against opponent bullpens and forcing them to a 7.03 ERA and a 5-8 record in decisions with just three saves. The team has a .348 average in the eighth inning of games and .333 average in the ninth on the season with over a .520 slugging percentage in both frames. ASU has 11 home runs in the 7-8-9 innings of games this season, creeping up on its tally of 17 last year.
- In a season and a half under Willie Bloomquist, the Sun Devils have shown that no opponent lead is safe, showing off plenty of grit in erasing multi-run deficits. On 11 occasions last season, ASU erased a lead of at least three runs. ASU has six wins this season when trailing by at least three runs at some point in the game.
- Last season, the seven-run deficit overcome by the Sun Devils to defeat and take the series from Cal was the most since March 3, 2000 against Arizona.
- ASU has doubled down at that this season with the victories over North Dakota State and GCU, overcoming a 7-0 deficit in both (and 9-2 in the entering the eighth against GCU) for victories in both.
- Three times last season ASU rallied from a deficit of five or more runs to tie or win the game - the first time that had happened since 2010 (also 3).
