FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas left-handed pitchers Cole Gibler and Colin Fisher are expected to start the Razorbacks’ exhibition games against Little Rock on Friday and Dallas Baptist on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn did not specify in which order the pitchers would throw. Fisher pitched during a scrimmage last Friday and Gibler last Saturday at Baum-Walker Stadium.
“I think they've both pitched really well,” Van Horn said. “[Gibler] is a sophomore, [Fisher] is a junior….You want to start the game with someone who has got a little experience.”
Gibler and Fisher are among the pitchers who are being evaluated for starting roles this fall, pitching coach Matt Hobbs said last month.
