Kentucky pitcher today
Mason Moore will start as Kentucky's pitcher against Texas A&M on Monday.
Moore has become one of the most important pitchers in the Wildcats' rotation this season and has a 9-3 record. The right-hander has racked up 80 strikeouts and 51 walks across 87.2 innings pitched at a 4.93 ERA.
Moore has struggled with his control on some occasions this season but can be lethal once he gets into his rhythm. It will be interesting to see how the sophomore fares against Texas A&M at this crucial junction of the CWS.
Ahead of the game, Kentucky coach Nick Mingione praised his team for its incredible run in the postseason thus far.
"It is an absolute joy and pleasure to coach these guys, because we started out 14-1 in the league. That is, like, next to impossible. It's next to impossible," Mingione said (per wdrb.com).
