2017 Cavalier Baseball: Pitching Preview

Brandon Waddell is gone. Nathan Kirby is gone. Connor Jones is gone. For the first time since 2013, the Hoos enter the season without a definitive Friday night starter. Adam Haseley is the team’s ace, but will play centerfield the first two nights of the weekend. That leaves some big question marks to what already appears to be the weakness of this Cavalier ball club. Talent is there, but a lack of experience will make this season very interesting at the top of the rotation. In the bullpen, experience is there, but it was no doubt the biggest weakness of last year's team, so whether that experience turns into a plus is yet to be seen.
