2018 Jan 25

Sophomore starting pitcher Evan Estridge has been selected to the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) preseason first team.

Estridge worked his way into the starting rotation by the season's second weekend and finished his freshman season with a 5-2 record and 3.86 ERA. He recorded 45 strikeouts and 11 walks in his 63.0 innings of work and allowed opponents to hit .290 off him. His most impressive performance came in a complete-game shutout over Mars Hill in which he struck out 11 batters with just one walk, an effort that earned him Southeast Region and SAC Pitcher of the Week honors. Estridge is a Pre-Dental major and is from Chapin, SC.
