The thick eyeblack stands out every time Anthony Tulimero takes the diamond.

It’s of part of who Tulimero is as a player, representing the heart and hustle that he brings every game.

“The eyeblack has been a thing for me since high school,” Tulimero said. “I don’t feel fully dressed without it.”

The Kansas transfer has done more than just look the part in his first year in the UH baseball program. He’s become the Cougars’ leader, both behind the plate and with a bat in his hands.

Opponents’ scouting report on the UH catcher should be simple: Don’t try to run on Tulimero because he will throw you out.
