Head coach Tim Corbin on Futrell: “Devin has been one of our most consistent performers in the last two years. He led our team in starts, innings, as well as wins for the second consecutive year. His consistency resonates in all areas of our program. You know what you are going to get from him when he walks into the building. He likes the art of pitching and demonstrates a high acumen for the game. Devin is a very good competitor…he doesn’t give in…you are going to have to beat him, he won’t beat himself. His classroom habits are consistent like his playing ability. He is a very good student.”
