UNC freshman pitcher Caden O'Brien looks comfortable, impresses in first career start

Posted Feb 20, 2018
Caden O’Brien very well might have flown by the seat of his pants in his first collegiate start.

And yet, in the Tar Heels’ 5-4 loss to UNC-Wilmington on Tuesday, everything he did seemed routine. (Daily Tar Heel)
