Q&A: Underwood talks baseball, spring workouts, coaching staff after first pitch

New men's basketball coach Brad Underwood throws out the first pitch. The Cowboys defeated Arkansas 5-4 in Stillwater on Tuesday.

Underwood, the Oklahoma State men’s basketball coach, began to fire toward home, but he felt pain in his right shoulder, worn down from years of slow-pitch softball. He felt his fresh OSU jacket snag his arm.

The result was not what he had hoped for, as he threw a one-hopper to OSU pitcher Joe Lienhard, who was in the squat.

“It felt awkward and I probably should’ve taken the jacket off because about halfway back, it got stuck,” Underwood said.
