Maxwell Moldovan, OSU alum, hits eagle at U.S. Open
Jun 6, 2024; Dublin, Ohio, USA; Maxwell Moldovan plays his shot from the second tee during the first round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Adam Cairns-USA TODAY Sports An Ohio State alum has one of the early highlights at Oakmont Country Club. On the first hole of his first round at the 2025 U.S. Open Golf Championship, former Buckeyes golfer Maxwell Moldovan needed just two strokes to get his ball into the cup, earning him an eagle on the par-4 hole. Moldovan, who turned pro in June 2024 and in April won his first pro event at the PGA Tour Americas Brazil Open, was one of four players in a field of 83 to qualify out of Springfield Country Club, located in Springfield, Ohio. He put together rounds of 69-65 to go 5 under, which sent him to the U.S. Open. Advertisement This is his fourth straight year competing in the event.

Brewers pitcher Aaron Civale asks to be traded after move to bullpen
Veteran right-hander Aaron Civale, bumped from the Milwaukee Brewers' rotation by top prospect Jacob Misiorowski, has asked for a trade. Civale's agent, Jack Toffey, said he made the request to Brewers general manager Matt Arnold after the team informed the pitcher he was moving to the bullpen. 'The conversation was very professional,' Toffey said Thursday. 'I just very respectfully said that Aaron would really like an opportunity to continue his career as a starter. He's going to be a free agent at the end of the year.' Advertisement The Brewers are one of the few clubs with a seeming surplus of starting pitching. Toffey said Arnold told him the team was 'exploring options.' Arnold did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Civale, who turned 30 on Thursday, has made all 122 of his regular-season appearances as a starter. He did pitch in relief in Game 1 of last year's wild-card series against the New York Mets, working three scoreless innings to close out an 8-4 defeat. The Brewers acquired Civale from the Tampa Bay Rays last July 3 in a trade for minor-league infielder Gregory Barnes. Civale pitched well in 14 starts after joining Milwaukee, going 6-3 with a 3.53 ERA. He then strained his left hamstring in his first outing of 2025, but produced a 3.32 ERA over 19 innings in four starts after returning on May 22. The promotion of Misiorowski, who will make his major-league debut against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night, left the Brewers with a decision. Civale was the odd man out in a rotation that includes Freddy Peralta, Chad Patrick, Quinn Priester and José Quintana – and other options at Triple A and on the injured list. On May 26, the Brewers demoted right-hander Logan Henderson after he produced a 1.71 ERA in his first four major-league starts. Right-hander Tobias Myers, a stalwart in the rotation last season, also is at Triple A, while left-hander Nestor Cortes. Jr. and righty Brandon Woodruff are working their ways back from injuries. 'I've heard from other teams, through their channels of communication, that they have a plethora of starting pitching and are looking for trade partners, maybe not just on Aaron, but maybe another pitcher,' Toffey said. 'That's my understanding.' Civale is earning $8 million, matching Peralta for the highest salary among Brewers pitchers. The Brewers, operating with the game's 24th-highest Opening Day payroll, often seek to create opportunities for less expensive options. And Misiorowski is the game's No. 87 prospect, according to The Athletic's Keith Law. 'Aaron is not angry or banging his fist on the table,' Toffey said. 'But it's a little confusing because he did not pitch his way out of the rotation whatsoever. It's more of a subjective choice the organization is making.'

UNC baseball star mocked a late first-round pick in 2025 MLB Draft
UNC baseball star mocked a late first-round pick in 2025 MLB Draft Will Luke Stevenson go pro or stay in Chapel Hill for a third season? If not for several late-inning blunders in their Chapel Hill Super Regional, the North Carolina Tar Heels would be part of this year's College World Series field. UNC dominated Arizona in Game 1, 18-2, then lost 10-8 in Game 2. North Carolina's offense was virtually non-existent in Sunday's Game 3 loss, a 4-3 collapse, with the home team's only runs coming from a Jackson Van De Brake 3-run bomb. The Diamond Heels' bullpen struggled in Games 1 and 2, while Van De Brake committed a costly Game 3 error that shifted momentum. North Carolina should return most of its roster in 2025, but it'll have a much younger team. One star player UNC will miss is catcher Luke Stevenson, who – despite struggling in the Chapel Hill Super Regional – proved himself worthy of an MLB Draft selection. In USA TODAY Sports' latest 2025 MLB Mock Draft – ahead of the College World Series – which starts on Friday, June 13 at 1 p.m. with an Arizona-Coastal Carolina matchup, Stevenson is mocked 26th overall to the Philadelphia Phillies. "(He) does not possess the current offensive profile that (Auburn catcher Ike) Irish offers, but Stevenson is a pure catcher, with an athletic 6-foot-1, 210-pound frame that hit 19 homers for the Tar Heels this season," Gabe Lacques wrote. Stevenson hit for a career .267 batting average during his 2-year career as a Diamond Heel, collecting 117 hits, while mashing 33 home runs and driving in 116 runners. Though you may hear more about his offense, Stevenson is quite the defensive catcher, too, committing just four errors through 125 games.
