Examining Auburn baseball’s returning pitchers

Which returning pitcher will make the biggest impact on Auburn’s success in 2024?

The Auburn Tigers are looking to return to the postseason for the sixth time in seven seasons and will have plenty of weapons to make that dream a reality.

One of the most experienced units this season will be its pitching, which returns 13 arms from last season’s roster. Names such as [autotag]Christian Herberholz[/autotag], [autotag]Tanner Bauman[/autotag], [autotag]Will Cannon[/autotag], and [autotag]Chase Allsup[/autotag] are back for another season, and [autotag]Joseph Gonzalez[/autotag] is expected to return to the Friday night starter role after sustaining a shoulder injury last season.

The Tigers added several solid arms such as [autotag]Trevor Booten[/autotag], [autotag]Cam Tilley[/autotag], and [autotag]Griffin Graves[/autotag] from the 2023 recruiting class, but their returning pitchers bring plenty of wealth to the club. Between the 13 returning pitchers who saw action last season, the group accounted for 36 starts, 203 appearances, and 371 strikeouts.
