I remember several pitchers that seemed to make big jumps as Juniors or later(girodo, Hudson, Gordon, Stratton, Zach Smith), but I can't remember if any of them were basket cases before they figured it our or if they just needed to fine tune things and just get over the hump.
I'm not sure who Zach Smith is but I do remember posters on various MSU message boards calling each of those pitchers busts and certain times before they put it together and writing them off. I remember people on sixpack calling me nuts for saying that Stratton would be a first round pick. Ethan Small had an ERA of over 11 I think his freshman year.
