During the 2021 baseball season, Ohio State’s strength was its pitching — both starting and out of the bullpen. With the entire starting rotation heading off to the pros following last season, pitching was certainly a concern for the Buckeyes heading into 2022.
Well, if the four games that the Buckeyes played in Port Charlotte, Fla. last past weekend are any indication, they needn’t worry too much. The bats were so hot that I could have pitched and gotten the “W.” The Bucks scored 39 runs in four games, winning the first three before dropping the finale on Monday to BYU 9-6.
