A pitcher who was just the winning pitcher in Game 3 of the College World Series comes in at 67 on our list.
Vanderbilt starting pitcher Mason Hickman tossed 6 innings in the 2019 College World Series Final giving up just 1 earned run on 4 hits and 3 walks with 10 strikeouts.
We see you, Mason Hickman! 👀

It was quite the bounce-back season for Hickman after struggling as a freshman with a 5.21 ERA in 74.1 innings pitched with 66 strikeouts. But he still allowed fewer hits than innings pitched in 2018 showing signs of being a dominant pitcher.
This past season with Vanderbilt he showed that dominance by going 9-0 with a 2.05 ERA in 96.2 innings with 129 strikeouts with a WHIP of 0.95.
Hickman and Kumar Rocker could be the best 1-2 punch in the country in 2020 as Vanderbilt looks to repeat.
