Here's our list of the SEC's best non-pitching players heading into the final weekend of SEC play. Lots of factors are considered--defensive value, production in SEC games, strength of schedule, etc. A players "runs created" total (per a Bill James formula), and that player's runs created per 27 outs, is listed in parenthesis.

1. Sonny DiChiara, 1B, Auburn (68 RC, 17.9 RC/27): Tiger slugger has been intentionally walked a whopping 14 times. 

2. Dylan Rock, OF, Texas A&M (56, 12.2): Second in league games in on-base percentage (.504) and fourth in slugging (.732)

3. Dylan Crews, CF, LSU (63, 11.8): Seventh in on-base percentage in conference games (.450) and fifth in slugging (.717).

4. Jacob Berry, 3B/RF (55, 12.5): He's missed much of the past two weeks, but he leads the league in average (.395) in SEC games.

11. Connor Tate, OF, Georgia (55, 10.8): Ranks second in the SEC in average in league games (.386), fourth in on-base percentage (.475) and ninth in slugging (.683).

12. Drew Gilbert, CF, Tennessee (49, 13.0): Playing time (191 plate appearances; 22 less than second-fewest on this list) and less production in SEC games (.313/.421/.495) holds him down on this list, but he's been so good offensively and defensively on the whole. 

13. Spencer Jones, RF, Vanderbilt (52, 11.3): Had a bad weekend offensively and defensively at Arkansas, but he's otherwise been rock-solid for the Commodores. 

14. Tim Elko, 1B, Ole Miss (52, 10.4): Has mashed 41 home runs in his storied career in Oxford.
