Time and time again, the Crimson's flame throwers have shown themselves capable of working in either a starting or relief role.
Even freshman Ryan Tsujikawa (1-0), whose eight relief appearances are the most on the staff, has made a start.
"It's a different mentality depending on whether you start or come in for relief," Nyweide said. "But you just adjust based on what you need you need to do."
Clearly equipped with both the talent and the poise to succeed on the college level, Harvard's young hurlers surely have a wealth of potential.
"These guys are getting the game experience and confidence that they need," Lentz said. "They are only going to get better, and that will help us improve as a team."
Regardless of where it finishes in the standings this year, Harvard clearly has much to look forward to in seasons to come.
While an Ivy League title may be an
impossibility this spring, the Crimson stands a tremendous chance of becoming a dynasty all over again, so long as Harvard's freshman and sophomore pitchers live up to the high standard they have set for themselves.
