Arkansas reliever Kevin Kopps delivers to the plate Thursday, May 20, 2021, during the eighth inning of play against Florida at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville.

Keeping batters off balance is the key to the success for recent Arkansas pitcher commitment Christian Foutch.

Foutch, 6-3, 190 pounds, of Chatfield High School in Littleton, Colorado has worked 11 innings this spring while facing 41 batters, striking out 16 and giving up 3 earned runs.

His fastball has been clocked at 94 miles an hour, averages 80-82 mph on his slider and 84-86 on a splitter.
