Designated for Assignment
Hultzen was a healthy scratch
Virginia coach Brian O’Connor has leaned on Hultzen in a large fashion this season, perhaps more than the skipper would have liked.
On Saturday, Oak, as he is known by players, took Hultzen out of the equation and leaned on other players, namely redshirt rookie Ryan Levine. Virginia managed to win both games 4-2 in a doubleheader but Hultzen could have been used at spots in both games.
Don’t look for the future first-round pick in the next few weeks. O’Connor wants to let Hultzen focus on his pitching in the two-week period prior to a pivotal showdown with Georgia Tech.
While it could hurt the offense, the move could bolster the bench before the postseason for a program that could be ranked No. 1 on Monday after Florida and Vanderbilt lost Friday.
