Freshman [autotag]Brady Tygart[/autotag] has not been at Arkansas long enough to get his spikes muddy, but he is already turning into a valuable member of the Arkansas bullpen.
In eight appearances and 15 innings of work, the freshman from Hernando, Miss. has struck out a total of 22 batters. His best, and longest, outing came in the Razorbacks’ most recent series against Mississippi State, where he struck out a career-high seven batters in 3.2 innings of work, allowing only one hit and one walk in Arkansas’ 5-3 loss to Tygart’s home-state team.
Most of his strikeouts have been earned by his ability to make opposing batters look silly in the box thanks to his breaking pitches. Tygart has tossed pitches that have spin rates of 3,100 RPM, which makes it nearly impossible to make contact. Rob Friedman, also known as “Pitching Ninja” on Twitter, has become a fan of Tygart this season and looks to showcase his talents at every opportunity given.
On Sunday, Friedman pieced together highlights of Tygart’s outing against Mississippi State. Here’s a 0:46 highlight of Tygart’s breaking pitches, courtesy of “the pitching ninja” Rob Friedman. Enjoy.
