Rice Baseball: 2025 Summer Ball mid-June update

June 17, 2025 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice baseball players scattered across the country for Summer Ball leagues. Here’s how each has performed so far this offseason.

Pitchers

Three Rice baseball pitchers will be teammates this summer. Micah Davis, Nolan Roycraft and Caleb Williams are all playing for the Wilmington Sharks. None of the pitchers boast outstanding stat lines at the moment, but keep in mind the summer is the perfect laboratory to test out different approaches and pitches. A 0.00 ERA is nice, but not necessarily the ultimate goal for a successful summer.

Pitching Stats

Hitters

Robson is off to the hottest start of the Owls at the plate so far this summer, hitting .263 across 14 games with the Kelowna Falcons. Five walks along the way have his OPS up to .333, something worth monitoring for a player who eased up toward the leadoff position at the tail end of the Rice baseball regular season with his speed. Motley and Eldridge are each off to more modest starts, although Eldridge has showcased some power with four extra base hits in 11 games including two dingers.

Rice Baseball: 2024 Summer Ball early-July update

July 9, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice baseball players scattered across the country for Summer Ball leagues. Here’s how each faired this offseason.

Pitchers

It’s been mostly good news for Rice baseball hurlers this summer. Matthew Rheamue has posted a scoreless campaign, allowing just three total hits in eight innings and no earned runs. His 12 strikeouts are just shy of Mark Perkins’ 15 Ks, but it took him four fewer innings to reach that mark. Garrett Stratting has also impressed in limited work, posting a 2.08 ERA in two outings.

Pitching Stats

Hitters

With most of the summer in the books, it’s looking like the Owls will have a trio of representatives in the .300 average club. Jacob Devenny and Max Johnson have delivered big performances in their respective leagues, but so has Rice newcomer Colin Robinson. He’s hitting .317 in 23 games in the Alaskan summer league. Meanwhile, Duffield leads all Owls with 20 RBI in just 22 games.

Rice Baseball: 2024 Summer Ball mid-June update

June 19, 2024 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice baseball players scattered across the country for Summer Ball leagues. Here’s how each faired this offseason.

Pitchers

Matthew Rheaume has had the most impressive start to his summer campaign. He has yet to allow a run in four appearances for the Mooresville Spinners, tossing eight scoreless innings. Garrett Stratton isn’t far behind him, allowing just one run in 4.1 innings of work. The rest of the arms have had a mix of good and bad outings with plenty of time to improve their numbers as the summer progresses.

Pitching Stats

Hitters

All eyes are on Eric Anderson with the recent announcement that Owls’ starting catcher Manny Garza has entered the Transfer Portal. Anderson has looked the part so far this offseason, leading all Owls hitters with 11 hits, 12 walks and six RBI. He and Tobias Motley have gotten off to the most impressive starts. Motley and Trey Duffield each have a home run apiece.

Rice Baseball: 2022 Summer Ball roundup

August 9, 2022 By Matthew Bartlett

Rice baseball players scattered across the country for Summer Ball leagues Here’s how each faired this offseason.

Pitchers

Parker Smith was the star of the show for the SB Foresters of the California Collegiate League this summer. He toed the rubber in the league championship game, delivering a masterful six innings of one-run ball while striking out five. His strong start helped pave the way for the Foresters’ third consecutive title.

He wasn’t the only bright spot on the mound for Rice baseball this summer, though. He was one of five Owls that posted sub-3.30 ERAs, Reed Gallant was a workhorse out of the pen, striking out 42 batters in 35.2 innings. Micah Davis still walked a fair amount of batters (15), but struck out nearly twice as many (24).

Pitching Stats

Hitters

Aaron Smigelski picked up where he left off this spring, crushing the Coastal Plain League to the tune of five home runs in 17 games with a .339 average. Guy Garibary matched him in the power department, but it took him 40 games to reach five long balls. Graiden West and Ben Dukes joined Smigelski in the .300 batting average club

It was a mixed bag for several other Owls. Connor Walsh was up and down at the plate, but still managed to produce a .395 on-base percentage.  Jack Ben-Shoshan was able to score 14 runs in 20 games played.

Rice Baseball: 2022 Summer Ball late June roundup

June 26, 2022 By Matthew Bartlett

The diamond never goes empty for too long. Rice baseball players in Summer Ball leagues around the country. Here’s the latest.

Hitters

Given the different start times of the various leagues, Rice baseball hitters have played anywhere from a couple to more than a dozen games so far this summer. Of those who’ve gotten a decent amount of action, Ben Dukes leads the way with a .385 average. Seeing Aaron Smigelski and Nathan Becker join him with .500+ slugging percentages is hardly a surprise. Smigelski has mashed five home runs in 16 games.

Among those who were mainstays in the starting lineup this past spring, Connor Walsh and Guy Garibay have come out of the gates slowly, but it’s still early. Justin Long’s elevated strikeout numbers are stand out, giving him a sizable hole to dig out of through the rest of his summer season.

Hitting Stats

Pitchers

Almost to a man, the Rice baseball pitching staff has impressed during summer ball. Six different hurlers have a sub-2.40 ERA and Micah Davis has somehow managed to strike out 23 batters in 11.0 innings, a feat that doesn’t even seem believable. Owls’ closer Matthew Linskey has been sharp as well, allowing one earned run with 11 strikeouts in seven total innings of work. Tom Vincent leads the entire pack with a sterling 0.00 ERA in two appearances.
