Notre Dame Baseball leads the country in this very important stat

This group has led the team to a 9-1 record early

Through ten games so far this season, the Irish baseball team has dropped just one game, a one-run loss to Delaware in their third contest of the year. Playing a huge part of their 9-1 record has been the pitching staff and after Tuesdays win over Elon, the Irish are tops in one extremely important statistic, earned run average.

The team ERA for Link Jarrett’s team is a minute 1.41, having given up just fourteen total runs so far. They are just one of eight teams to have an ERA under 2, and lead Texas by slim margin, .13, but still tops in the nation.

Although this collective effort has been impressive, it’s the starters that have shined early. Aidan Tyrell, John Michael Bertrand and Austin Temple each have ERA’s under a two, with Tyrell and Bertrand’s under a one.

The bullpen hasn’t been slacking either, eight of them having pitched two or more innings without allowing a single run. When the Irish start their ACC conference schedule, which begins this weekend against host North Carolina State, their numbers will most likely not be as impressive but early on, the whole pitching staff has shown it has the makeup to shut down any team.

Notre Dame baseball routs Marist to start their weekend series

A nice way to start a weekend

The Irish didn’t want to let another team think they could hang around with them and it showed against Marist. Link Jarrett’s team jumped out to an early 8-0 lead after the first inning and then cruised to a 20-2 win to open their weekend series.

It was a total team effort as four players (TJ Williams, Jack Zyska, DM Jefferson and Nick Juaire) each had multiple RBIs in the contest. Ryan Cole led the team with three hits, and two players, Zyska and Justin Kapus hit homers.

Starter Aidan Tyrell was magnificent, going seven strong innings, allowing just three hits, no runs and striking out five batters. Sammy Cooper finished off the game and although he did allow two runs, he struck out three finishing off the blow out.

The Irish play two today, their first game of the doubleheader starting at 2pm EST as John Michael Bertrand takes the hill against Monmouth.

Notre Dame captains for 2022 season unveiled

Who will lead the Irish into battle this season?

After coming agonizingly close to the College World Series a year ago, Notre Dame is back for more. In order to actually get to Omaha this time, the Irish need people on the roster to rally the others when necessary. Link Jarrett is a terrific coach, but he only can do so much. Sometimes, players have to hear from their own teammates, and that’s where captains come in.

Notre Dame’s baseball players have voted for five of their own to serve as captains for the 2022 season. When asked to comment, Jarrett said the following:

“Each of these guys leads in their own way. They clearly are well respected by their teammates, and being chosen as a captain is an honor they will have ingrained forever. We are very fortunate to have a roster full of wonderful individuals, and these five obviously stand out to all involved.”

Here are the five players who have been elected captains for this season:

SWEEP! Notre Dame baseball sweeps hosting Virginia

Break out the brooms!

So far in Link Jarrett’s tenure at Notre Dame, his team’s have gotten off to fast starts. With today’s 8-3 road victory against Virginia, the Irish completed a road sweep, winning their fourth series away from South Bend in a row. A five-game winning streak now has elevated their record to 7-2.

After getting ranked for the first time this year, the Irish didn’t let that number next their name effect their game. Once again, it was the long ball that Notre Dame relied on, as first baseman Niko Kavadas, second baseman Jared Miller and shortstop Zack Prajzner all hit homers for the victorious Irish.

Both Kavadas and Miller hit two homers during the series, Miller added three other hits today as well.

The pitching trio of Dominic Cancellieri, Aidan Tyrell and Tanner Kohlhepp limited the Cavaliers to just three runs, two earned.

When the new rankings come out this week expect the Irish to be on the rise, as Virginia was ranked No. 21 coming into the weekend and couldn’t get a win on their home-field. Notre Dame won’t have a chance to extend their road series winning streak as they will host their first home series of the season against Duke starting Friday night.
