Rochard had an incredible year, leading the ACC in multiple statistical categories and leading the ACC and the country in two categories, strikeouts (288) and shutouts (13). Rochard also led the conference in innings pitched (194.0), complete games (25), opponent’s batting average (.144), earned run average (1.12) and tied for the league lead in wins (24).
