With Friday starter Christian Trent and clutch reliever Scott Weathersby gone, the Rebs have major holes to fill. A crew of highly-touted JUCO transfers and freshmen appears up to the challenge.
Although the Rebels made it to a NCAA Regional in Los Angeles in 2015, the pitching staff was nowhere near as strong as it was in 2014. Friday ace starter Christian Trent went from undefeated to 7-7 with a 3.74 ERA. Although Brady Bramlett was good on Saturdays (7-4 record), his 3.74 ERA was mediocre. And please don't make me talk about the debacle that was the Sunday starter.
