Social media videos of Georgia's Christian Mracna's activity in the bullpen vs. Texas A&M from the weekend has raised eyebrows.
Social media videos of Georgia's Christian Mracna's activity in the bullpen and during a dominant performance on the mound in a weekend game at top-ranked Texas A&M has led Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle to suspect the pitcher was putting a foreign substance on the ball in violation of the rules.
“Certainly appears that way,” Schlossnagle said in a text to The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It's part of the game ... wish we would've caught it.”Mracna, a graduate transfer from George Mason in his first season with the Bulldogs, pitched the last two innings of a 5-4 win in College Station, Texas, on Saturday. He allowed a single to the first batter he faced and struck out six in a row to end the game for his first save.
According to NCAA rules, players cannot apply a"foreign substance or moisture to the ball or to the pitching hand or fingers, or do anything to deface the ball." Use of a foreign substance, typically something sticky that improves grip, can create higher spin rates that increase the ball's movement. A violation results in ejection.
