Kumar Rocker is absolutely electric on the mound. Vanderbilt's star freshman hurler was on fire in Game 2, and his slider was working to its full effect as he continued to bait swing and misses from Michigan hitters.

It's hard for any batter to hit Rocker, who throws his filthy breaking stuff with a fastball trajectory. He's showing that he's not afraid to pitch on college baseball's biggest stage, even as a freshman.

Rocker tossed 6.1 innings in the outing, recording 11 strikeouts while surrendering just 1 earned run. His excellence on the mound set up the Vanderbilt win as the Commodores evened the series against the Wolverines.
