7-10-14 - B/R - 10. Colorado Rockies Select Vanderbilt RHP Carson Fulmer - There's a stigma against right-handed pitchers who are under 6'2", so Vanderbilt's Carson Fulmer has his work cut out for him to prove scouts wrong at 5'11". The good news is he's got the weapons in his arm to quiet any doubts. Fulmer has a plus fastball that sits in the low 90s with late, explosive life. He complements it nicely with a big, powerful 12-to-6 curveball that is going to make a number of professional hitters flinch because it's got such tight snap. Even though he's primarily pitched out of the bullpen at Vandy, Fulmer has the arsenal to pitch in a starting rotation. There's some effort in his mechanics as he tends to short arm the ball, which also hurts the command, but he's athletic and repeats everything so well that it just takes a quick fix to take stress off the shoulder. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2085268-mlb-mock-draft-2015-brs-official-early-predictions-for-next-years-top-10/page/2
6-30-14 – Through The Fence – Early College Prospects - 9. Carson Fulmer, RHP, Vanderbilt - After being the closer for the first year and a half of his career at Vanderbilt, Fulmer made a smooth transition into the starting rotation. Over 10 starts, he posted a 2.00 ERA, 1.18 WHIP with 57 K/28 BB over 63 innings, holding opponents to a .192 BAA. He can dial up his fastball to 98 mph, and he adds a power slider that shows plus. His change-up is still developing and he has good command of his stuff despite the high walk totals as he is still getting used to the starter role. Like Brandon Finnegan this year, Fulmer will raise questions about his size (5’-11”, 195 pounds) next year and many will question his ability to remain a starter. He has effort to his delivery but tones it down a bit when starting. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2015-mlb-draft-early-30-college-prospects/43327

By the way, how does that #Vandy rotation for 2015 look right now? Carson Fulmer, Walker Buehler, Tyler Ferguson. (gulp)
6-4-14 - Mack - We seem to always be talking about Vanderbilt pitching.
Next one up is 6-0 RHP Carson Fulmer, who is a converted reliever. No one likes a starter under 6-2 but they probably will learn to live with his fastball that has been clocked up to 98 this season. And thgat's not even his best pitch (slider). We'll follow him through the NCAA tourney and will post up his 2014 stats as soon as the season ends.
