Pitching has been the main contributor to the success of head coach Todd Whitting’s baseball team during the last few seasons. As in all levels of the sport, a great starting rotation usually leads to wins. Last season, the Cougars received two new additions who are looking to take the next step in year two.
Sophomores Mitch Ullom and Trey Cumbie joined a pitching staff including Andrew Lantrip and Seth Romero. Pitching behind the solidified starters, the two became integral parts of a team that reached the American Conference Championship game. For their efforts, they were both named Louisville Slugger Freshman All-Americans.
