No matter how rough the last couple of outings have been for Durbin Feltman, it hasn’t changed Brian Howard’s opinion.
“He’s the best closer in the country,” Howard said after Sunday’s 8-5 victory against Baylor at Lupton Stadium, which required three pitchers to finish the ninth inning.
Howard is not alone in his thinking about Feltman in the TCU dugout, but coach Jim Schlossnagle acknowledged concern Sunday about an out-of-nowhere slump in which the sophomore closer has hit a batter and walked six while recording only two outs over his last two appearances.
