Nick Lodolo LHP, TCU

Nick J. Faleris & Burke Granger of 2080 Baseball:

"The 6-foot-6 lefty has a deep repertoire and has shown improved control this spring, cutting his walk rate in half, while showing impressive swing-and-miss stuff from a tough low slot."

Lodolo has posted a 6-5 record with a 2.48 ERA and a 125:21 K:BB ratio in 98 innings so far this season for TCU. He will be making at least one more start this weekend for the Horned Frogs in the Fayetteville regional as the #3 seed.
