LIAM DOYLE’S FREAKY FASTBALL

Why Liam Doyle Is The Most Puzzling Pitcher In The 2025 Draft

Tennessee lefthander Liam Doyle is here to challenge the convention of what a first-round pitcher looks like.

College baseball’s most dominant arm is also one of its most unique. And as Doyle, who checks in at No. 16 in Baseball America’s latest MLB Draft rankings update, continues to rack up whiff after whiff with his freaky, mid-90s fastball and fly up draft boards, scouts around the country will be forced to grapple with the unusual nature of his profile.

NCAA BRACKET PROJECTION

NCAA Tournament Bracket: Projected Field Of 64 (March 26)

College baseball’s unpredictable nature has been on full display through roughly the first third of the regular season. To help sort things out, BA college writers Jacob Rudner and Peter Flaherty are here with their first in-season Field of 64 projection.

Preseason No. 1 Texas A&M, which opened the year as the overwhelming favorite to win the national title, is off to the worst start by a top-ranked preseason team since USC in 1999. Five other programs that were tabbed as projected regional hosts in the preseason—NC State, Oklahoma State, Virginia, North Carolina and Duke—have also fallen from the Top 25 and projected host status.
