When it comes to hitting prowess in the Big 12, the Texas Tech Red Raiders are setting the standard. With a lineup packed with talent and power, they're making waves both at the plate and in the circle.
Their offensive strength is clear, leading the conference with an impressive 363 hits this season. But the Kansas Jayhawks are right on their heels, trailing by just 17 hits.
It's a gap, sure, but not an insurmountable one.
Let's break it down:
- Texas Tech Red Raiders: 363 hits in 36 games
- Kansas Jayhawks: 346 hits in 36 games
