Auburn baseball has decided who will start in its first game of this weekend’s Auburn Regional, announcing Wednesday that Trace Bright would take the bump for Friday’s evening contest against Southeastern Louisiana.
“I think he's gotten better and better and better,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said of Bright. “He's gotten to a certain point in the game, that’s been most of his challenges. We've pushed through that, we've seen that, we've discovered that and now we're trying to be more proactive in how to use Trace.”

Striking out nearly a fourth of the batters he has faced, Bright is averaging 4.9 strikeouts an appearance, and has recorded a career-high eight strikeouts in games against Rhode Island, Mississippi State and Tennessee this year.
“We think he’s a guy that can pitch in, but not miss too much in if their feet are going to be right on the chalk or close to the plate,” Thompson said. “We think he can command the ball.”
