In-Fall-ibly Speaking: Young Guns Provide Bright Spot for Baseball

Ronz has quickly established himself as one of the most dominant power pitchers on the team. So far this season, Ronz has fanned nearly one batter per inning, chalking up 28 strikeouts in just 30.2 innings of work.

"Kenon throws his fastball with a lot of movement," Lentz said. "Plus he has a good curveball that he can mix in as well. He's probably the most improved guy on the staff."

In addition to Ronz, several other rookies have showed great promise on the hill this season.

Freshman Madhu Saty, who pitched a one-run, three-hit gem against Northeastern last week, boasts the staff's highest winning percentage with a 2-0 record in nine appearances.

Classmate T.J. Sevier, meanwhile, has held opposing hitters to a .231 batting average, the lowest among pitchers with at least fourteen innings of work.

"When we entered this season, we were pretty much coming into the unknown," Ronz said of himself and his fellow freshmen. "We've just been trying to push the doubts out of our own minds."

"The upperclassmen help us a lot," Ronz added. "They are always in our corner, calming us down when necessary."

In addition to its youth, another one of the Harvard pitching staff's best attributes is its flexibility.
