Rice Baseball 2023: MLB Owls update – July 4

By

The 2023 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 promoted from AAA on July 3 and made his professional debut with the Marlins on July 4, entering the game in the fifth inning. After failing to reach base on his first at bat, Myers delivered with an RBI single in the seventh inning, coming around to score later in the frame.

Thanks to Rice broadcaster JP Heath for this nugget: Myers is the 25th Rice alum to collect a hit in the major leagues and the 31st player to reach the majors that played under former head coach Wayne Graham.

Through July 4, Myers is hitting .667 with no extra-base hits, no walks and one strikeout. His OPS is 1.333 and he’s collected one RBI.

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois made two appearances for the Marlins this week, dropping his season ERA by almost half a point with a pair of shutout innings. He worked a scoreless eighth against the Braves on Friday and a scoreless sixth on Sunday, also against the Braves.

Through July 4, Chargois has a 3.54 ERA with a 1.131 WHIP. He’s averaging 6.6 strikeouts per nine innings.

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Redone returned from the injured list on Friday, playing in a string of five consecutive games before a disastrous day for the Angels organization on Tuesday. Shortly after placing Mike Trout on the injured list, Rendon was removed from the game with a bruised shin after fouling a ball off his leg. Then Shohei Ohtani left the game early with a finger issue.

Rendon voiced some frustrations after the game: “It’s almost comical. It’s just frustrating. I don’t know what to do. I’m lost,”

Through July 4, Rendon is hitting .236 with eight extra-base hits, 25 walks and 27 strikeouts. His OPS is .678 and he’s collected 22 RBI.

Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers

Otto got back on the bump for the first time this season on Friday, tossing one scoreless inning against the Astros, retiring all three batters he faced in order. He returned to the mound for an extended relief appearance on Monday, working through 3.1 innings with more trouble. He surrendered a home run, one of four hits he allowed, and was charged with four runs.

Through July 4, Otto has an 8.31 ERA with a 1.154 WHIP. He’s averaging 4.2 strikeouts per nine innings.

Rice Football: Bradley Rozner enters Transfer Portal

By

Rice football has potentially lost a significant name to the Transfer Portal. Wide receiver Bradley Rozner has reportedly entered on Wednesday.

After an offseason of largely positive momentum and encouraging signs, Rice football was dealt a potentially significant blow in early July. Wide receiver Bradley Rozner has reportedly entered the Transfer Portal.

Rozner was set to enter his eighth season of college football with the Owls in the coming weeks with fall camp set to begin in early August. Instead, it’s looking likely he’ll be suiting up elsewhere. The eighth-year pass catcher sat out the spring but had returned to the program for offseason conditioning and was expected to retake his starting spot this fall.

Rozner led all Rice receivers with 876 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022 and was also the team’s leading receiver in 2019, missing the bulk of the 2020 and 2021 seasons with injuries.

Most of the transfer portal churn happened in the early summer with teams filling out their depth charts and undergraduate players seeking opportunities to go elsewhere. Graduate students have the opportunity to transfer and play immediately, prolonging the window for players like Rozner to make a decision this late in the offseason calendar.

Stay tuned for more updates on what the receiver room might look like without Rozner this fall and what the Owls can do to replace Rozner’s production on the field.
