College Baseball & Prospect Columnist

Key Takeaways

  • Bullpen attrition over a weekend series can matter more than raw season ERA.
  • Park and wind context should be checked before reacting to total steam in college baseball.
  • Prospect-heavy lineups can still be overvalued if the bullpen cannot close the last nine outs.
