Can someone just tell me how successful highly rated freshmen pitchers usually are in college baseball, specifically the SEC?

Serrano is 91-93 topping out at 95 with a ++curveball, a +changeup and average command.

Any comparisons recently?

Alot of history of guys coming in and seeing immediate success. Particularly among guys that have basically been groomed for it their whole life like Serrano has.

I fully expect him to be your Friday night guy and generally give you a chance to beat anybody in that slot. It's crazy he got drafted as early as he did with the signability concerns than surrounded him.

ETA: It's usually the postseason when it seems to catch up with the young guys for the most part...which, I'd assume, would already guarantee that Tennessee's season was considered a success

Yeah, I may go over there and watch him some. Always interesting to watch big time arms. I remember watching Alex Wood dominate against us a few years ago for UGA and now he's doing the same thing for the Braves.

Tennessee has not had one quality arm since Hochevar that I can remember. Very difficult to watch baseball when your team can't pitch.
