We’ve heard for a while now that Dakota Hudson is finally ready to cash in on his potential and become an elite pitcher in college baseball. And if the Bulldogs are going to compete in the SEC, they’ll need him to be.

The Mississippi State baseball team won’t have much of a chance of competing if they know they have zero shot of winning a Friday night game because the other team’s ace is far superior than their ace. Hudson is drawing the assignment of being the guy to go pitch-for-pitch with the other team’s best pitcher.

The Bulldogs need an ace. Dakota Hudson has the pitches and the arm to do it. We find out this year if he is finally up for the task.
