Darien Smith

OUTLOOK

We return a bunch of big innings on the mound and got some quality transfers in to help the returning pieces on offense. Jackson Woodward led the entire nation in innings pitched and ERA as a FR last year but he will likely miss the entire 2021 season as he undergoes cancer treatment.
