Georgia baseball Friday night starter Emerson Hancock received SEC pitcher of the week honors on Monday. Wednesday, Georgia baseball head Coach Scott Stricklin announced Emerson will not pitch this weekend due to minor arm soreness. So it goes with Diamond Dawgs 2019.
“He just needs a little bit of a breather,” Stricklin said on 960 The Ref’s Morning Show. “It’s what’s best for him and our team. Just some soreness. He’s fine.”
Let’s hope so, but “minor soreness” is never a minor issue for a pitcher.
Anytime is a bad time
The news is business as usual for this Georgia baseball team after playing without three starting position players and two front line pitchers the first half of the season.
