This kind of publicity isn't going to help Miami with top pitchers in recruiting or the transfer portal:

He ran an ERA over 7.00 during both his sophomore and junior years while sitting 95-96 and flashing a plus slider and splitter. The Rangers quickly overhauled Rosario’s delivery, most notably his arm slot, which is now much more vertical. It’s totally changed the way Rosario’s fastball plays without sacrificing his arm strength or the quality of either secondary pitch. There are many people in baseball who are jealous of the Rangers for this one, and others who think Rosario should be furious with the staff at Miami for failing to help him improve in college, as it probably cost him a lot of money. The changes have also improved Rosario’s command. His line to the plate is much more direct and comfortable looking. In less than a year, Rosario has gone from a frustrating Day Two prospect to a potential mid-rotation starter with three plus pitches.

This is an average system on depth, though graduations leave its top tier a little light and it’s very thin on hitters. The pitching has generally gotten better.
