New Florida State pitching coach Micah Posey has started out his time with the Seminoles with back-to-back conference honors for his pitchers.
After Friday starter Cam Leiter was named ACC Pitcher of the Week after the first week of the season, Saturday starter Jamie Arnold earned the ACC Pitcher of the Week honor this week, the conference announced Monday.
The sophomore lefty set new career-highs in FSU's 8-4 win over Western Carolina in innings pitched (6) and strikeouts (11). In two starts this season, he's allowed no earned runs (one total run) on three hits over 11 innings with 20 strikeouts and only two walks.
Conner Whittaker projected to start another midweek game vs. USF
After Sunday's 20-7 win over Western Carolina, FSU head coach Link Jarrett was unsure if Conner Whittaker was going to remain in the midweek starter spot or return to his original weekend rotation spot.
At least for this week, Whittaker will remain FSU's midweek starter. FSU's game notes posted Monday afternoon have the junior right-handed pitcher projected as the team's starting pitcher for Tuesday's 5 p.m. home game vs. South Florida.
In his first start of the season last Tuesday at Jacksonville, Whittaker allowed two earned runs on three hits over 5.1 innings, but did not factor into the decision.
