An Unofficial Look At The National Leaders
The NCAA won’t release its official statistics leaders until after the conclusion of the Final Four, so here’s our “unofficial” look at some individual category leaders. Pitching Statistics are still a little hard to qualify, so for now we’re sticking with wins, saves and strikeouts.
PS-Don’t look now, but there are a couple early Triple Crown candidates!
