Kyle Molnar seems to be growing with each subsequent start. In his first start of the season – on Feb. 21 against North Carolina – the freshman appeared to only have one go-to pitch: the change-up.

UCLA baseball defeats Washington State on walk-off single
If there’s one thing that’s clear about UCLA baseball through 17 games, it’s this: The Bruins are at their best in close games. “I like the tight games,” said coach John Savage earlier this season. “We’re pretty comfortable in close games.” UCLA (10-7, 2-0 Pac-12) won yet another one-run decision on Saturday afternoon, defeating Washington […]
Myles Jack, Devin Fuller stand out at UCLA Football Pro Day

It was the third-straight empty possession for the Bruins, but it was not the last. The drought would just continue, on and on, for the next four minutes. […]
