Fangraphs now has college baseball data going back to 2021

Some nuggets:

Weighted Runs Created Plus (wRC+) is a baseball statistic that compares hitters by accounting for external factors like ballpark and era.

100 is average by the way.

wRC+ for UGA (min. 10 plate appearances)

Zabo - 188
Black - 159
Burnett - 146
Alford - 139
Jackson - 114
Hunter - 103
Phelps - 96
Obee - 89
McCarthy - 87
Adams - 71
Brown - 57
Branch - 55

Fielding Independent Pitching (FIP) focuses on events a pitcher directly controls: strikeouts, walks, hit-by-pitches, and home runs, aiming to measure pitching effectiveness independent of defensive performance


FIP (minimum 3 IP)

Byrd: 0.29
Goldstein: 1.19
McLoughlin: 1.67
Curley: 1.73
Stephens: 1.85
Hammond: 2.24
Quinn: 2.64
Brown: 2.89
Radtke: 3.22
Finley: 3.61
Chastain: 3.69
Hoskins: 4.51
Harris: 4.58
Farley: 5.24
Harris: 5.41
Davis II: 6.96
Smith: 7.04

Some other items worth mentioning:

Devin Obee has a BABIP (Batting Average of Balls in Play) of .190 which is incredibly low. This would indicate he’s been very unlucky so far.

Charlie Condon had a wRC+ of 215 last year, way ahead of Caglianone in 2nd place with 197. That number indicates that he created 115% more runs than an average D1 baseball player last year

This stuff should not be taken as gospel (especially FIP, but it does allow you to account for a lot of factors traditional stats do not.
