MM 7.25: Maryland baseball lands 12th transfer of offseason

Maryland baseball picked up its 12th transfer of the offseason Sunday when Lafayette graduate pitcher Alex Walsh announced his commitment to the Terps. As well, he became the eighth pitcher to announce his intent to transfer to Maryland.

In his senior season at Lafayette, Walsh earned a spot on the All-Patriot League first team as he posted a 3.71 ERA, along 55 strikeouts and a .200 average against in 63 innings.

Walsh is native of Ashburn, Virginia, and is one of several incoming Maryland transfers from the Washington, D.C. area.

Walsh’s addition presumably helps relieve Maryland’s loss of numerous arms in the offseason. Most notably, Kyle McCoy underwent Tommy John surgery in early July, David Falco Jr. announced his transfer to Wake Forest and the quartet of Jason Savacool, Nick Dean, Nigel Belgrave and Tommy Kane were selected in the 2023 MLB Draft.
