His first two midweek starts were rough, but the Ole Miss freshman pitcher came back for his first career W earlier this week. Control of his off-speed stuff was the key.
James McArthur is a 6'7, 217-pound, right-handed freshman pitcher who arrived in Oxford as a Perfect Game All-American after putting up a 6-1 record and a 1.82 ERA during his senior year of high school. Over the course of fall ball and winter ball, he showed enough to the coaches to earn the job as Ole Miss' midweek starter coming into the 2016 season.
All of that buzz was quickly silenced after two rocky starts.
