What is Arkansas’ pitching situation tomorrow?
Big RHP Isaiah Campbell for them in game 2. He’s their ace and a likely top 3-4 round draft pick. Angled 90-95 mph FB, hard SL, solid CB/CHG, throws strikes...... tough task for us. Think Brian Howard with better stuff (not a perfect comp but paints the picture).
They also have 2-3 good arms in the pen that didn’t throw yesterday. Most notably RHP Jacob Kostyshock (93-97) and LHP/Closer Matt Cronin (92-96).
Their better bats (Kjerstad, Kenley, Fletcher, Goodheart) are all LHH so if Nick does as we expect him to it’s a favorable matchup for him.
Would love Nick to go 9.... my biggest worry other than the fact that Arkansas is a national title caliber club is our bullpen trying to get 3-6 outs in a tight game vs a good lineup in that crazy atmosphere.
