He's SEC material from a physical standpoint. He will be drafted for sure.
I have to wonder about this though- it doesn't help when you're a pitcher and you know going into a game that for you to win the game you have to pitch a shutout to have a chance to win- and that was the case tonight. It's tough to ask Roy Halladay to do that much less Devin Jones. And that wouldn't have been good enough tonight.
The guy Vandy threw today is probably the top pitching prospect in the SEC this year. As I have said, the problem with a small ball lineup is sometimes they can get overpowered by a really good pitcher like tonight. And that's true no matter how big your outfield is.
It also doesn't help when you have five errors. It's hard to beat anybody doing that.
I think right now this is a case of a team beating itself before it got to the ballpark. I think our team sees stuff like "Vandy is number one in the country and they have the top pitcher, and on and on" and it's in their head, and they start doing stupid things- they think that the have to play perfect to win, and they are trying to do too much. The reality is they're not THAT much better than us. BUT the players have to believe it. They need to just go out and play the game and take it one out, one inning, one at bat at a time instead of trying to do too much. There's no reason for us to kiss anyone's ***. I don't care if it's the Yankees. I mean, have some pride in yourself.
