FAYETTEVILLE — A term from baseball’s olden days seems to fit Arkansas’ best relief pitcher in 2022.

Evan Taylor is the Razorbacks’ fireman.

When Arkansas is in a bind, it is the left-handed Taylor who is called upon to douse the flames. In his 16 relief appearances, Taylor has entered the game eight times with runners on base.
