The Southeastern Conference (SEC) is a hotbed for athletic talent. It always has been, and it foreseeably always will be. Football gets the headlines, but the talent on the baseball diamond is also as good as it gets in a lot of ways.
Mississippi State righty Eric Cerantola is one of the best arms in a stacked SEC in 2021 and should get plenty of headlines as the July draft approaches.
The Mariners, and Major League Baseball for that matter, are no stranger to SEC arms in the first round.
In 2020, the SEC saw four of it’s pitchers drafted in the first round.
