For those who follow international vb regularly, I am curious about something. I often times see that the hitting percentages for OH are quite high. In college it seems if an OH hits about .250 that's good, and above .300 is exceptional. So when I'm seeing outsides hitting .500 or .600 in international matches I have to wonder what that could be attributed to? My uneducated guess would be that they're getting more in-system sets combined with better/more deceptive setting. Thoughts?

My uneducated guess would be that they're getting more in-system sets combined with better/more deceptive setting. Thoughts? Hitting that high is still pretty rare. Most of the pro OHs hover around .200-.300 depending on how good you are. Opposites will be (or should be) higher. Better setting is probably the biggest key, especially out of system. Even the players that are taking the second ball are putting up a better set than they would in the NCAA. These players are also older, more physically mature than their NCAA counterparts. Besides skill being better, the rosters (For the most part) are more balanced. The amount of "bad swings" or swings to just get the ball over is very much decreased in the pro game, well at the high level overseas anyways. Here is Logan's game as well as Kathryn Plummer's. |
