The 2024 MLB season is done and Rice baseball played their parts across the league. Here’s how the season went for each of the MLB Owls.
JT Chargois – Miami Marlins / Seattle Mariners
Chargois was part of a trade deadline deal between the Marlins and the Mariners, sending the former Seattle hurler back to a club he played parts of the 2021 season with before moving on to the Tampa Bay Rays. Chargois was solid in 21 appearances with the Mariners but had his best stretch of the season with the Marlins before he was moved leaving town with a 1.62 ERA in 15 appearances and allowing just three earned runs in 16. 2 innings.
Chargois finished the season with a 2.23 ERA with a 1.018 WHIP. He averaged 7.4 strikeouts per nine innings.
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon battled through several stints on and off the injured list, playing in 57 games this season before his year end for good in early September. The limited health made getting in a rhythm challenging for the 12-year veteran who hasn’t truly gotten into his groove since joining the Angels following an incredible 2019 season.
Rendon finished the season hitting .218 with 10 extra-base hits, 23 walks and 35 strikeouts. His OPS was .574 and he collected 14 RBI.
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers played his way into being a regular with the Miami Marlins, making 40 appearances with the club while posting a solid .265 batting average and a .759 OPS before injury derailed his season. Myers would see his season put on pause following a July 13 game against the Reds, landing on the injured list for the better part of two months. He returned at the end of the season, finishing out the year with the club with a few appearances in September.
Myers finished the season hitting .263 with 10 extra-base hits, eight walks and 36 strikeouts. His OPS was .775 and he collected 19 RBI.
Tristan Gray – Miami Marlins / Oakland Athletics
Gray began the season with the Marlins, appearing in seven games before he was designated for assignment. The A’s grabbed him off waivers and quickly put him into their major league lineup. Gray didn’t register a hit in seven at bats with the Marlins and faired slightly better on the West Coast. He tallied three hits across eight appearances (six starts) before returning to the AAA team.
Gray finished the season hitting .107 with one extra-base hit, three walks and 16 strikeouts. His OPS was .336.
Tyler Duffey – Kansas City Royals
After spending the vast majority of his professional career to this point with the Twins, Duffey signed with the Royals this offseason after a brief stint with the Cubs in 2023. He made nine appearances for the Royals this season, spanning four week’s worth of action in late April through the middle of May. He earned a win and a hold in that time, but walk troubles kept him from becoming a mainstay in the pen. He was sent down following a May 20 game against the Tigers and remained in AAA for the remainder of the season.
Duffey finished the season with a 3.94 ERA with a 1.667 WHIP. He averaged 10.0 strikeouts per nine innings.
Evan Kravetz – Cincinnati Reds
Kravetz made his big league debut on August 28, retiring the only two batters he faced in a brief seventh inning appearance against the Athletics. He induced a pair of grounds before heading back to the bench. That outing would be his only one with the big league club this season. Shortly after, Kravetz was optioned back to AAA.
Kravetz finished the season with a 0.00 ERA with a 0.00 WHIP.
