FAYETTEVILLE — Call it the “cutter” or the “splitter.” It's often the same pitch and it is showing up more and more with an improved Arkansas pitching staff.
“Our pitchers have that now,” said Grant Koch, the Arkansas catcher. “It's a big pitch for a lot of our guys and it's missing barrels.”
That's one way to say it, but the easy thing to see is that Arkansas pitchers are getting more swings and misses. It's a big reason the Hogs are 17-4 overall and 3-0 in the SEC. They take a five-game winning streak into a non-conference date with New Orleans at 6 p.
