While speaking to the media, Tennessee coach Tony Vitello said that he was "anxious" to start Sechrist, since it will be his first time pitching in Omaha.
“I’m anxious to see him (Sechrist) out there on the mound and he will start for us,” Vitello said. ” And then, you know how he does, it’s like same thing, every day’s different. So when we get out there in the first inning, regardless of who it is, if it’s (Chris Stamos) or somebody else, we’re looking to hunt down three outs as quickly as possible and then we’ll move on to that next inning, whatever it might be.”
Sechrist has been enjoying a strong season with Tennessee and has a 4-1 record. The left-hander has racked up 66 strikeouts and 14 walks across 66.1 innings pitched at a 3.26 ERA ahead of his maiden College World Series appearance.
It will be interesting to see how Sechrist fares against the Seminoles on Wednesday as he has the chance to put his team into the CWS finals.
