Tar Heels believe in Tyler Baum on mound

Posted Jun 7, 2019
While Tyler Baum’s spot atop UNC's pitching rotation came about by accident, the Tar Heels have become comfortable with him in that role. “I felt less (pressure),” Baum said Friday, referring to returning to that spot. “I think last year I put too much pressure on myself.” Saturday, he’ll throw the first pitch of the NCAA super regional against Auburn in Chapel Hill.
