Who is this guy?
Prior to the season-opening series against Northern Illinois, Boston College head coach Mike Gambino made the decision to start Jacob Stevens in the third game in Glendale, Arizona. Although he had a big arm in Thomas Lane available, the decision was made that Stevens, at that point, was going to be the Sunday starter to begin the season.
There's a solid thought process behind the decision. Since the baseball season is incredibly long, it didn't need to be permanent. Stevens could get a couple of starts to start the year, see how he acclimated to the collegiate game, and be analyzed by the staff on an appearance-by-appearance basis.
