Rice Baseball 2024: MLB Owls Update

The 2024 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are busy on the mound and at the plate. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.

JT Chargois – Seattle Mariners

Chargois continues to be productive when handed the ball. He had three opportunities to do so this week, going 3.0 innings while allowing one hit, two walks and striking out two. His lone rune allowed came in a 16-3 thumping of the Oakland Athletics so no harm done on that front.

Through Sep 10, Chargois has a 2.30 ERA with a 1.085 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.5 strikeouts per nine innings.

Tristan Gray – Oakland Athletics

A recent addition to the Oakland organization, Gray made his debut with the A’s on September 1 and has now appeared in eight games with the organization, seven of them at home. He’s picked up three hits and is still looking for his first RBI of the season after a short cameo in May and early June with the Miami Marlins.

Through Sep 10, Gray is hitting .107 with one extra-base hits, three walks and 16 strikeouts. His OPS is .336.

Injured List

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Rendon went on the injured list for the third time this season with an oblique strain. There’s only so much baseball left to be played this year so it’s possible this is the last time we’ll see Rendon on the diamond before the 2024 season, hopefully after an offseason to get healthy and return to old self.

Through Sep 10, Rendon is hitting .224 with 10 extra-base hits, 22 walks and 35 strikeouts. His OPS is .590 and he’s collected 11 RBI.

Dane Myers – Miami Marlins

Myers’ strong season will be delayed several weeks. He was placed on the 60-day DL this week after initial landing on the injured list when he fractured his left ankle during a game against the Reds prior to the All-Star Break. .

Before he hit the IL, Myers was hitting .265 with eight extra-base hits, seven walks and 32 strikeouts. His OPS is .759 and he’s collected 14 RBI.
