Bruner Leads Big Nine in Pitching as Iowa Ace Refines Pace
Waterloo left-hander Jack Bruner sits atop Big Nine pitching averages after a season of calmer pitching. He credits Otto Vogel for teaching him to slow down between pitches, a change that helped Iowa win three conference games and extend a string of victories. Bruner, now senior, has boosted his speed with added weight and lists a 19-9 Iowa career record.
