There’s no pitching staff in the Big 12 that is capable of truly matching what the Texas Tech Red Raiders are accomplishing up to this point in the season. With the way the Texas Tech pitching staff has performed, the rest of the Big 12 is pretty far off from the Red Raiders.
Texas Tech is heading into this weekend with a 1.71 team ERA. The next closest Big 12 pitching staff is sitting with a 2.73 team ERA. For the record, it looks like Texas Tech is as dominant in the circle as the Red Raiders are at the plate.
I mean, we’re talking about an ERA lead over the next best pitching staff by over a full run. What NiJaree Canady and Kaitlyn Terry are doing is simply just remarkable stuff.
