Austin Nye Pronunciation

Head coach Tim Corbin on Nye: “Austin was a young man that we identified when he was a 14-year-old standout for Team USA. He has always had a high acumen for pitching. His patience has been tested over the last couple of years because of an arm injury. He has made quality strides in coming back. When healthy, Austin will most certainly impact our team and pitching staff. Austin is a very mature young man who has high expectations for himself on and off the field. He was named to the Dean’s List in hist semester.”
