UNC’s Shea Sprague, WVU’s Derek Clark contrast in stature but share similar pitching styles
Posted Jun 7, 2024
The two starting pitchers in the Chapel Hill Super Regional baseball opener are like mirror images, other than one being much taller than the other. UNC’s 6–3 junior right-hander Shea Sprague (3–1, 3.76 ERA) immediately noticed it when he watched a video of 5–7 West Virginia senior left-hander Derek Clark (8–2, 2.82 ERA), calling it "pretty uncanny."
