He stands 6 feet tall and weighs 190 pounds dripping wet.

His bench press, which he hasn’t attempted in years, topped out at 10 reps of 185 pounds.

Bruce Buffer isn’t announcing Jarrett Arakawa’s name inside of a UFC octagon anytime soon, but his toughness is unquestioned among his Hawaii baseball teammates.

The fifth-year senior has survived two surgeries in his left shoulder that at times have left him barely able to lift his glove.

Arakawa has started seven games and pitched 301/3 innings with a 3.26 ERA this season after having his second surgery nine months ago.

Junior L.J. Brewster spent two years at third base and never faced Arakawa in practice.

Now in his first year as a full-time starter, Brewster, who has experienced slight fatigue as his innings count grows, says it’s unfathomable what Arakawa has done.

"I’ve never had surgery and he’s had two already so I can’t even imagine," Brewster said. "All these guys were saying how dirty he is when they face him in practice. Just to come out week after week and give us five (innings) has been clutch."

Junior Tyler Brashears, sandwiched between Brewster and Arakawa in the rotation, echoed Brewster’s sentiments.

"To have that mind-set of having to sit out essentially two years of baseball and coming out with the same drive he has is pretty amazing," Brashears said.

There were times this season when the pain was so bad, Hawaii coach Mike Trapasso nearly pulled Arakawa from a start minutes before his first pitch.

Last week against Cal State Northridge was the first time Trapasso didn’t even have to ask Arakawa if he were ready.

"This is the first time (the shoulder) has felt better than the previous week I think in more than two years," Arakawa said chuckling. "That’s exciting, I guess."

It’s understandable that Arakawa is almost sarcastic about the injury at this point.

It’s been almost three full years since he first experienced pain in his shoulder, pitching in the Cape Cod League.

Arakawa earned a spot in the prestigious summer league after a brilliant sophomore season in which he posted a 2.88 ERA in 97 innings with 18 walks and 70 strikeouts.

He came back with a little soreness but it wasn’t until just before the season that a tear in his labrum was discovered.

He had the surgery and came back in 2014 but never quite felt right. Somehow, he managed to pitch 48 1/3 innings and go 2-1 with a 2.42 ERA, in a conference like the Big West, despite finding out after the season his labrum was still torn and hadn’t been fixed correctly.

"That’s hard to even fathom," Trapasso said. "You feel bad for him because of where he was before the injury took place. You were talking about a top-five round draft pick."

Pitching for the Orleans Firebirds, Arakawa made the postseason All-Cape Cod League team, starting seven games with a 1.82 ERA. He struck out 28 with only two walks in 342/3 innings.

Nine other pitchers were named to that team and all were drafted in the next two years. Five of the nine were taken in the first 77 picks of the 2013 draft when Arakawa was in a sling, unable to do anything with his left arm.

"Sometimes," Arakawa conceded when asked if he thinks about what could have been. "But I don’t know what I would have changed to make the outcome different so I don’t really regret anything."

Once he decided to try to come back for a fifth year, he hasn’t complained. Every time Trapasso asks him how he’s doing, the answer is the same.

"He says, ‘yup, it hurts, doesn’t matter though, let’s go. I’m throwing," Trapasso said. "I look at what he’s been through the last year and a half and I couldn’t be more impressed. Having gone through what this kid has been dealing with for two years now, I have an admiration for him and his toughness that some people don’t fully understand."

Over the past week, Arakawa has felt the best he’s felt since that summer in Cape Cod, but he doesn’t want to get overly excited about it.

"I don’t want to disappoint myself," he said.

In his career at Les Murakami Stadium, Arakawa is 13-6 with a 2.36 ERA and 138 strikeouts in 1791/3 innings.

As a sophomore, Arakawa was 5-2 with a 1.53 ERA in 702/3 innings, allowing 60 hits and nine walks with 62 strikeouts.

He’ll start his second-to-last game at home Sunday against No. 8 UC Santa Barbara with his family in attendance, right where they’ve been for the past five seasons.

It might not be professional baseball, where he once hoped to be, but it’s still a pretty special place.

"It’s been a long road and this year has been great even though it hasn’t gone the way we wanted it to so far," Arakawa said. "I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I like playing here."
