FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas redshirt sophomore Caleb Bolden took another big step in his return from Tommy John surgery Monday.
Bolden, a right hander from Texarkana, started and pitched one inning in the Razorbacks’ intrasquad scrimmage at Baum-Walker Stadium. It was a scheduled short start - his first time to face live hitters since he underwent surgery in December 2018.
He retired all three batters he faced, including hot-hitting outfielder Braydon Webb, who struck out to lead off the inning.
“I thought he did a great job,” Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said. “He threw nothing but strikes, 88-89 (mph).
