HOOVER, Ala. - Looking to build on the longest outing of his Auburn career, Andrew Mitchell will start for Auburn Friday against Ole Miss in the SEC Tournament.
“If he still has fastball command, I think he’s our best option,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “That’s what he’s done in his last two starts.
“If he can just shove the ball in the strike zone and get ahead and stay ahead in the count, I think he’ll throw well.”
Mitchell struck out nine in seven innings last Saturday in a 14-5 win against LSU.
