Rice Baseball 2025: MLB Owls Update – All Star Break

July 16, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

The 2025 MLB season is underway and Rice baseball alums are making the most of their time in The Show. Here’s the latest from the MLB Owls.

Dane Myers – Miami Marlins

Myers finished with three hits across his last two games before the break, entering the All Star break on a high note after a phenomenal start to his 2025 season. Myers is fifth on the Marlins in batting average, and second in stolen bases despite appearing in only 66 games, ninth most on the team.

Through the break, Myers is hitting .282 with 12 extra-base hits, 13 walks and 47 strikeouts. His OPS is .711 and he’s collected 23 RBI and stolen 14 bases.

Tristan Gray – Chicago White Sox

Myers was the only other Rice Baseball alum active on a major league roster in the first half, briefly getting the call to The Show for one day without appearing in a game before heading back to join the AAA affiliate. Gray has appeared in 17 MLB games across the past two seasons with the Rays and the Marlins.

Injured List

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Rendon has been out of the news since it was reported he would miss a significant amount of time following hip surgery this spring. There have been no updates from the Angels or his camp since then.

Matt Canterino – Twins AAA

Canterino underwent season-ending surgery this spring and was released by the Twins before subsequently signing back with the club on a minor league contract while he undergoes rehab.

Knocking on the Door

The following Owls began the season in AAA:

  • Tristan Gray – Charlotte Knights (White Sox)
  • Evan Kravetz – Louisville Bats (Reds)
  • Glenn Otto – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Astros)

Rice Football Recruiting: OL Leyonte Chandler commits to Owls

July 13, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

Days removed from landing its quarterback, the 2026 Rice Football recruiting class picked up one of his protectors. Offensive lineman Leyonte Chandler has committed to the Owls.

The 2026 Rice Football recruiting class isn’t slowing down as it continues to stockpile talent throughout the summer. While June was particularly busy, the Owls have made two crucial additions to their group in July, most recently adding this key protector in the trenches. Euless Trinity offensive lineman Leyonte Chandler has committed to the Owls.

Chandler’s services were tightly contested with more than a dozen programs vying for his services including San Diego State, UTSA, Navy, North Texas, Texas State, Arkansas State and New Mexico, among others. Given a myriad of choices, Chandler picked South Main.

“I can tell coach Abell wants to win and the program is like a family,” Chandler told The Roost. “I feel like they will develop me to be the best version of myself.”

Chandler joins Sinton HS product Clay Mitchell as the Owls’ pair of offensive line commitments in the class, so far. They’ll block for newly committed quarterback Ayden Wilhelm, who made his pledge just days before Chandler.

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound Chandler gets low and moves people, aspect of his game that jump out as soon as you turn on the tape. When asked about his game, Chandler pointed to his hand usage to engage defenders and active feet. He’s a physical presence in the trenches and should be a great building block for the Owls up front for years to come.
