FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas right-hander Blaine Knight said he’s never felt better later in a season than he does now.
The junior, selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the third round of the MLB Draft on Tuesday, feels rested and ready to face South Carolina again this weekend at Baum Stadium as super regional play begins.
Part of the reason, potentially, he is of that opinion is his efficiency, particularly last weekend.
Aside from a pair of home runs, Knight was sharp in the NCAA Fayetteville Regional opener against Oral Roberts. His strikeouts (2) were down relative to previous starts, but Knight cruised through eight innings in 104 pitches.
