Shane Drohan came to FSU as the 4th best LHP in FL, but ran into early struggles when he reached campus. In his freshman season, he walked ten batters in just 4.1 IP and gave up 10 runs. The command didn’t get much better his sophomore season, but you could see the present ability to miss bats. In 2019, he still had a BB/9 over 8, but had an ERA of just 3.66 over 51.2 IP.
It wasn’t till Jimmy Belanger was hired as FSU’s pitching coach that it all started coming together for the southpaw.
