TCU is ready for its first look at the prize of its recruiting class, left-hander Nick Lodolo, who earned a spot in the starting rotation and could be there for a long time.
“You watch him pitch for an inning, you can see why professional baseball really liked him,” coach Jim Schlossnagle said. “We’re counting on him being a big part of our starting rotation the entire time he’s at TCU.”
Lodolo’s first start is Sunday’s 11 a.m. series finale against Penn State.
The 6-foot-6, 185-pound freshman from LaVerne, Calif., was the highest-drafted player not to sign professionally.
