UC Davis baseball hasn't exactly been an offensive jaggernaut in recent years. While the Aggies may have been adapt at sacrifice bunts, they often failed to score runs in bunches.
It's been a little different story in 2008, at least through 19 games. UCD leads the Big West in average (.337), slugging (.480), runs (148), walks (148) and yes, even home runs (17). Leadoff hitter Ryan Royster has five of those and leads the league - quite a feat since he was homerless in his first three seasons.
UCD players are scattered throughout the Big West leaders: Catcher Jake Jefferies leads the league in hits, RBIs and total bases, Ryan Scoma leads in average and Royster is first in runs scored. Jefferies has not struck out in 89 plate apperances.
The Aggies are in the middle of the pack in ERA (fifth, 4.79) but have struck out the most batters in the league. UCD has also made the third most errors.
