Notre Dame baseball loses Ricky Reeth and Justin Mayes to the transfer portal
Notre Dame baseball loses Ricky Reeth and Justin Mayes to the transfer portal Notre Dame pitchers Ricky Reeth and Justin Mayes have entered the transfer portal.
It was a solid season for Notre Dame pitcher Ricky Reeth, as he made a team leading 22 appearances with a 4-2 record, but with the Irish missing out on the NCAA Tournament, he opted to move on to the transfer portal according to Irish Sports Daily's Matt Freeman.
The right-hander pitched 48 innings to a 4.31 ERA, with 43 strikeouts on the year. Reeth was second on the team with three saves, but the usage wasn't enough to keep him around. He will have one season remaining to play college baseball, as the Florida native could look to play closer to home.
The other pitcher who opted to leave was Justin Mayes, as the lefty appeared in 13 games with a 13.50 ERA in just 7.1 innings. Also a Florida native, the rising third-year player will look to find a new home where he can make a bigger impact.
It's unfortunate that the Irish are losing some depth along their pitching staff, but that is how any sport now operates with the transfer portal. We wish both Ricky and Justin the best at their next destinations.
