The Tigers have added four commitments over the past two weeks including three from in-state schools.
Below are profiles for AU’s portal additions…

As a sophomore for the Blazers, he was 3-5 with a team-best 3.52 ERA in 14 games with 13 starts. He struck out 70 and walked 34 in 71.2 innings. He was 2-3 with a 6.99 ERA in 25 appearances out of the bullpen as a true freshman in 2022.
