Much like Missouri’s group of position players, the pitching staff is full of guys with little to no college baseball experience. However, the man who’s been called upon to mold them has a wealth of experience developing pitching, especially in Columbia. Former Missouri coach Tim Jamieson is back with the Tigers, but this time as the pitching coach under first-year coach Kerrick Jackson.
The jewel of this unproven crop of arms that Jamieson is tasked with working his magic on is Logan Lunceford. A sophomore from Oklahoma, Lunceford is primed to be Mizzou’s Opening Day and regular Friday night starter.
