Perez is the nation’s Ironman: Entering the weekend, Tech’s Alex Perez is just one of five seniors in Division I baseball to have started in every one of his team’s games since stepping foot on campus. Perez’ 186 consecutive starts is currently the longest streak in the nation and is the longest streak to ever start a career at Tech. Of his 186 starts at Tech, 134 have been at second base, 49 have been at shortstop and three have been on the mound.
Checking the national rankings: Some Hokies are currently ranked in the top 50 in the nation in several categories. Perez is 7th in runs (22) and 11th in per game average (1.38), 12th in triples (3) and 33rd in per game (0.19), and 22nd in walks (15) and 49th in per game (0.94). Perez is also second among active career leaders in walks (119) behind Central Michigan’s Pat MacKenzie.
Also at the plate, Brendon Hayden is 13th in home runs and 32nd in per game average (0.31), 37th in doubles (7) and 44th in total bases (40). Ricky Surum is 12th in sacrifice bunts (5) and 35th in per game average (0.31), while Mac Caples is 46th in HBP (3) and 48th in per game (0.42).
On the mound, Jon Woodcock is 27th in hits allowed per nine innings (4.13) and 39th in strikeouts (29), and his WHIP (0.83) is just outside the top 50.
More on the national numbers: Just four weeks into the 2015 season and the Hokies have already eclipsed last year’s home run total. In 2014, Tech hit just 12 during the entire season, with Hayden leading the team with seven. Tech’s 13 home runs - they Hokies are still led by Hayden, who has five already - currently rank them 25th in the nation in long balls. They are on pace to hit 44 home runs this season, which would more than triple last year’s output.
