2023: Became a reliable component of the Owls bullpen in his first year of pitching … Tied for fourth on the team with 21 appearances after not making an appearance in the first 11 games … Allowed only two of 17 inherited runners to score and retired 17 of 21 first batters faced... Led the bullpen with a 3.20 ERA and 1.22 WHIP ... Did not allow a run in 10 of his last 12 appearances … Made his debut with a scoreless inning vs, UTRGV on 3/7 and followed that with two shutout innings vs. HCU on 3/12 to pick up his first career win and at UAB to earn the final win in the Owls sweep of the series ...
