He is not listed in Summer Ball nor projected as a roster player for Fall. He is not listed in the transfer portal either. I looked up his age and iirc, he doesn't turn 21 until after the MLB draft so I thought technically he is not eligible this year. Any word on him?

On a happier note

Josh Pine and the Troy Trojans won the Gainesville Regional ousting baseball blue bloods Miami & Florida. Good for Josh!
Meanwhile WVU ridded the tourney of UK. Third base problems prompted Coach Nick to go to Tyler Cerney to the hot corner for the deciding game. A 1 for 5 night, no HBPs, & an error ends what should have been a career that had him solidly in the MLB draft and a shot to play for a while.

Owen ten Oever was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Following a fantastic week at the plate, freshman designated hitter Owen ten Oever was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday (April 27) afternoon. During the Jeff Mercer era in Bloomington, ten Oever is the 15th different player to earn the honor. It’s the fifth-straight season that at least two IU players have been named Big Ten Freshman of the Week in the same year.

During last week’s action, ten Oever was the most productive player in the IU lineup. He hit .533 in four games with eight hits, two home runs and six RBIs. He hit a grand slam in the first inning of a win over Ball State and provided his first career three-hit day in Sunday’s contest with Iowa.

Of IU’s nine starting position players over the weekend, six of them have now earned a Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor in the last two seasons. The young designated hitter joins redshirt freshman catcher Brayden Ricketts among the conference’s best young players this year. Sophomores Hogan Denny, Jake Hanley, Will Moore and Cooper Malamazian all won the award a season ago.
