^^^^ congrats to all these young men!
On a Marietta note, Byers will not be back this spring due to academic ineligibility...per his Twitter account. I believe he has transferred to Shawnee State.
Looks like Herstine and last years young guys will have to lead the staff.
I know this forum is to talk about the OAC and it's players, but losing Byers has a bigger impact in this conference than is being talked about IMO. He's thrown roughly a quarter of Marietta's innings the last two seasons. All-Region both years with a lot of good wins. Pounded the zone with good pace on the bump.
Herstine, Fulton may get them through 130 (mostly) quality innings but there's a lot of uncertainty about the other 270 ip for this program. Great time to be a freshman.
