One of the keys for the Mississippi State baseball team entering the 2016 season was Dakota Hudson. The Bulldogs needed him to be a lock-down Friday night starter who could match the other team’s ace pitch for pitch.
And for the first half of the season, Dakota Hudson was exactly that. He was easily the best pitcher in the country for the first half of the season. Recently, he’s been very hittable.
Through the first half of the season, Hudson was dominant. He carried the Mississippi State baseball pitching staff with 0.92 ERA, 4-1 record, and a 56-18 strikeout to walk ratio.
