Even though Vanderbilt is known more for their starting pitching, they feature a lineup with the top overall pick from the MLB draft that cannot be overlooked.
UVa is obviously going to be familiar with their opponent coming into the Championship Series this week. What's even better news is that the gameplan that the Virginia pitching staff had going into last year nearly (should have) worked.
Last season, the UVa staff was able to hold the Commodores to just a .191 (18-94) batting average in the three games. Unfortunately, too many walks and a key home run for Vanderbilt ultimately did the Hoos in.
