With the 2016 baseball season still almost three weeks away, the hard-throwing arm of Dakota Hudson has already garnered plenty of attention. Mississippi State’s junior right-hander has been tabbed a Preseason All-American by D1Baseball and Perfect Game, and he has been consistently projected as a top pick in the 2016 Major League Baseball Draft.
When you possess a 6-foot-5, 215-pound frame and can hum a fastball to the plate at more then 95 miles per hour, such accolades come. However it’s not the physical tools and abilities of Hudson that have MSU head coach John Cohen believing his veteran hurler is on the verge of a breakout year.
