Thanks to most of the Canes pitchers getting called up the the majors, the bullpen has been depleted. head coach J.D. Arteaga has worked on fixing that issue as he continues to add more and more players to the roster.
Miami baseball is shaping up to be one of the best teams in the country for next season.
After the announcement of most of its roster returning, the Canes have added more arms to the bullpen, the most recent being undefeated Austin Peay starter (8-0) Lyndon Glidewell.
They have also added Alabama transfer pitcher, Packy Bradley-Cooney. The Canes Bullpen is even better than last year which tackles one of the major issues they saw from the year before.
