UNC Pitcher Jason DeCaro: Calm, Confident, and Prepared for Year Two

Posted Jan 23, 2025
Before every start, UNC pitcher Jason DeCaro goes through a precise pre-game routine. He's methodical – but not superstitious – and keeps it loose. He's not chucking a football 90 feet like Paul Skenes or launching javelins like Yoshinobu Yamamoto. His habit is pre-game reading. It's always one chapter from the same book – he will not disclose the title. (Inside Carolina)
