Actually, Vandy has a great history of #1 pick pitchers with great success as professionals. David Price is a huge alumn for them.

I cannot recall Vandy having a Karsten Whitson disaster like UF.

But yeah, Kumar Rocker and Al Leiter have no business in College Baseball, way too good. They should be private COVID bubbles, throwing monitored bullpens. They can't do better than #1 and #2 in the draft.

Is playing for Vandy that thrilling? No huge base and the damn whistlers going nuts at every home game. Unless the whistlers died of COVID or the Nashville mask-requirements prevent whistling.
