It’s fair to say that, at no point in his short college career, has Will Plummer ever been the first choice to lead Arizona’s offense. Yet he keeps answering the bell when called on to step in.
As a true freshman in 2020 he was the clear No. 2 behind Grant Gunnell, unlikely to see much action unless necessary, when suddenly he was thrown into action on the second play of a game at UCLA. Plummer ended up playing the rest of that game and making his first career start a week later.
Then twice this season, after losing out to Gunner Cruz for the starting job, he’s served as the relief pitcher.
