Sean Bierman

Bierman's college career began at Vanderbilt, where he pitched 60 innings over two seasons. He transferred to Tampa and is a fifth-year senior who has battled through a long injury history that includes Tommy John surgery after the 2010 season, causing him to miss 2011. He returned to go 8-3, 2.27 this season and showed above-average control despite his past surgery, walking just 11 and striking out 85 in 83 innings. A 42nd-round pick back in 2007 by the Reds, he's a four-pitch strike-thrower who throws a fastball, changeup, curve and slider.
