The 2025 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.
Dane Myers – Miami Marlins
Myers was the lone Rice baseball alum to crack an Opening Day roster this year but he didn’t waste time making his presence felt. Myers tied the game up with an eighth inning RBI on Opening Day before walking it off two days later in extra innings.
Two wins, two walk-offs!

Through Apr. 2, Myers is hitting .244 with two extra-base hits, eight walks and 14 strikeouts. His OPS is .704 and he’s collected 5 RBI.
Injured List
Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels
Rendon is slated to miss a significant amount of time following him surgery this spring. The bad news is another bump in an injury-plagued stint with the Angels; Rendon missed a chunk of last season with an oblique strain.
Matt Canterino – Twins AAA
Canterino was thought to have a real chance to crack the big league roster at some point this season, converting himself to a reliver this offseason in hopes of limiting the stress on his arm and preserving his health. Unfortunately, he’s set to miss a third consecutive season, undergoing shoulder surgery in early March.
Knocking on the Door
The following Owls began the season in AAA:
- JT Chargois – Round Rock Express (Rangers)
- Tristan Gray – Charlotte Knights (White Sox)
- Evan Kravetz – Louisville Bats (Reds)
- Glenn Otto – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Astros)
