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 proved himself mortal this past week, following a pair of three-hit games with four hitless performances. The relatively cool streak, given his hot start, dropped his average from .444 to a still robust .308. He’s run into some bad luck of late, but remains a mainstay for the Marlins in center field.

Through July 25, Myers is hitting .308 with three extra-base hits, one walk and 13 strikeouts. His OPS is .725 and he’s collected eight RBI.

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois made two appearances this week, the first a scoreless sixth inning against the Cardinals, registering one walk, one strikeout and no hits. His second outing was less pristine, allowing two runs on two hits (one a home run) in a 4-3 loss to the Rockies. He was charged with a blown save.

Through July 25, Chargois has a 3.91 ERA with a 1.130 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.0 strikeouts per nine innings.

Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers

Ottow went more than two weeks in between appearances but finally got back on the mound on Saturday in a blowout game against the Dodgers. He surrendered two home runs and was charged with five runs against his ledger, part of a 16-3 loss to the visiting squad. It was Otto’s toughest result of the season to date, although he’s only appeared in four games.

Through July 25, Otto has a 10.80 ERA with a 1.800 WHIP. He’s averaging 9.7 strikeouts per nine innings.

Injured List

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Rendon remains on the Injured List after fouling a ball off his leg and suffering a shin contusion earlier this season. He’s eligible to return whenever he’s deemed healthy, but there has been no indication as to when that will be.

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

Everything is coming up roses for Dane Myers in his debut season as a major leaguer. Following a 3-for-4 performance on Monday (his second three-hit outing of the week) that pushed his average up to an incredible .444 he might just force the Marlins to find a way to keep him in the lineup for the foreseeable future, not just as an injury fill-in. And it’s not just empty numbers, Myers has delivered some And it’s not just empty numbers too!

Rice Sports Information Director Chuck Pool wrote this feature on Myers’ impressive start.

Through July 18, Myers is hitting .400 with three extra-base hits, one walk and eight strikeouts. His OPS is .940 and he’s collected eight RBI.

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois has been busy since the All-Star Break, appearing in three games this week in the span of five days. He combined to work 2.2 innings, allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts. He was able to strand a pair of inherited runners on Saturday, but allowed two to score on Monday.

Through July 18, Chargois has a 3.50 ERA with a 1.095 WHIP. He’s averaging 6.9 strikeouts per nine innings.

Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers

Otto has not made any appearances since the All-Star Break.

Through July 18, Otto has a 7.11 ERA with a 1.105 WHIP. He’s averaging 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings.

Injured List

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Despite early optimism Rendon would be able to return early after the All-Star break he was officially placed on the Injured List this week. It’s more bad luck for Rendon, who is headed to the IL for his third stint this season, this time for a shin contusion suffered after fouling a ball off his leg. This stint is retroactive to July 11, so he’ll be eligible to return fairly soon if he’s able.

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

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.

New MLB Owls

The 2023 MLB Draft was held this week with three current Rice baseball players selected, all pitchers. Just one year removed from his transition from catcher to pitcher, Justin Long was selected by the Braves in the seventh round, 219th overall.

The Diamondbacks picked the other two Owls drafted this year. Hayden Durke was selected in the 13th round, 385th overall. Matthew Linskey went a few rounds later in the 16th round, 475th overall.

Dane Myers – Miami Marlins

Myers has been nothing short of phenomenal since getting his promotion to the big leagues in early July. Through six career games, he’s dazzled with his bat and some nifty base running, making five starts for the Marlins, all in center field. He’s recorded at least one RBI in five of his six appearances so far and is hitting a ridiculous .625 against left-handed pitching.

Through the All-Star Break, Myers is hitting .409 with two extra-base hits, no walks and six strikeouts. His OPS is 1.000 and he’s collected six RBI.

J.T. Chargois – Miami Marlins

Chargois made two appearances in the week leading up to the All-Star Break, the first coming on July 5 when he worked through a turbulent fifth inning against the Cardinals, walking two, but recording a pair of strikeouts to prevent any runs from being charged to his ledger. His second outing was much smoother, escaping the seventh inning against the Phillies with an inning-ending double play on just his second pitch.

Through the All-Star Break, Chargois has a 3.27 ERA with a 1.136 WHIP. He’s averaging 7.0 strikeouts per nine innings.

Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers

Otto made his third appearance of this season, this week, all of which have come in relief. He worked the sixth and seventh innings against the Nationals on Friday, earning his first official hold of the year. He allowed one run via a solo home, but otherwise turned in a crisp six outs, four by way of the strikeout.

Through the All-Star Break, Otto has a 7.11 ERA with a 1.105 WHIP. He’s averaging 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings.

Anthony Rendon – Los Angeles Angels

Redone left a game last week with a bruised shin after fouling a ball off his leg but wasn’t placed on the injured list. There’s some optimism he returns to the lineup shortly after the conclusion of the All-Star Break.

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