I was looking at season statistics for the team so far, and had a question about what the SHO statistic was for the pitchers.
A quick google search indicates that it is for shut-outs, but a shut out is only recorded if a pitcher records all of the outs in a game (different than a team shutting out an opponent with multiple pitchers).
But what I couldn't find is what the 2 numbers below the statistic mean in the box score. There are some that say 0/0, 1/0, 0/2, 0/1 etc.
And according to the NCAA website, Vandy has had 3 shutouts this season, but only one would meet the definition above (Drake Fellows vs. UF). The other 2 are of the multi-pitcher variety.

Re: Question about the SHO statistic for pitchers
The first number is personal, complete game shutouts.
Drake Fellows has the 1-0 stat
The second number is for contributors to a combined shutout. Zach King's line reads 0-2, meaning he was part of both of the two combined shutouts.

Re: Question about the SHO statistic for pitchers
It's a stat that is almost obsolete in the modern game, as are complete games in general. Last year, no major leaguer recorded more than one shutout for the entire season, and there were only 19 in MLB. Here's a great trivia question- who has the most complete games in the majors in the last 10 seasons? Hint: he is in the HOF now, posthumously.
