Team Sheet: Vanderbilt

Cameron McElwaney

Players Featured: Enrique Bradfield Jr., Jonathan Vastine, RJ Austin, Davis Diaz, Carter Holton, Bryce Cunningham, Hunter Owen, Devin Futrell, Andrew Dutkanych IV, Nick Maldonado

What Happened: Vanderbilt took two of three games at home in a massive early season matchup with UCLA. The Commodores look to be yet again one of the best teams in the country under Tim Corbin.

Carrying Tool: Starting Staff. The starting staff shut down one of the most potent lineups in the entire country. It’s a true three-headed, all left-handed, monster of a staff in Carter Holton, Hunter Owen, and Devin Futrell. Combined, they only have up five hits on the weekend and registered 18 strikeouts.

Concerns: Back End of the Lineup. The top half of the lineup should be able to carry the offense a decent ways this season. RJ Austin, Jonathan Vastine, and Matthew Polk have gotten off to hot starts with Enrique Bradfield Jr. showing positive signs at the plate. The Commodores only have one other player hitting over .240 so they’ll need a few more bats to heat up later on in the year.

Best Player on the Field: Carter Holton. Holton was absolutely dominant in the Friday night start and looks like the ace of the Commodores for this year and next. It’s an electric four pitch mix with a fastball up to 96 mph and the ability to spin two different breaking balls as well as a changeup.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 24
It’s far better to be on a hot streak at the end of the season rather than the beginning of the year. As a result the three teams spotlighted with the latest rankings are in a perfect position for a deep postseason run.

College Player, Pitcher of the Week
Ryan Gallagher of UC Santa Barbara threw a complete game shutout and leads the Gauchos staff into the Top-25 while Tennessee's Christian Moore went 9-for-15 with 4 home runs and 9 RBI.

College Top 25: April 22
Well, here we go folks, we have one month left in the regular season and things continue to get more unpredictable on the national landscape. We are seeing some new clubs making statements out west and non-Power 5s on the east coast continuing to jockey for post-season host consideration.

Week 10 Preview Pick 'Em
Things are close as we head into week 10 and with all but one series having a different prediction, this week could really open things up between Cozy and Vin.
