How James DeCremer answered Arkansas baseball's need for one more pitcher
Dave Van Horn said Arkansas baseball needed one more pitcher after a recent loss to Oklahoma. James DeCremer is answering his coach's call to action.
FAYETTEVILLE — James DeCremer says a phrase to himself before every pitch. "This pitch. Right now.
" That internal monologue has lengthened Arkansas baseball's up-and-down pitching staff. Head coach Dave Van Horn issued a challenge to his arms after a loss on May 10. The Razorbacks (36-19) struggled to record outs during a 15-10 defeat to Oklahoma.
Colin Fisher and Mark Brissey's SEC struggles continued as they gave up seven runs in the top of the seventh. Their conference ERAs rose to a combined 16. 20.
So Van Horn announced at his postgame press conference that the Hogs needed to find one more pitcher. He only had seven trustworthy arms with one week remaining in the regular season. Now, it appears Van Horn has an eighth option after a sterling weekend performance against Kentucky from DeCremer.
