Ethan McElvain Pronunciation
Head coach Tim Corbin on McElvain: “Ethan has arm talent and physical size that are rare in the college game. We leaned on him throughout his freshman year. He’s a very aggressive kid that has matured on the mound over the last year. He had some great experiences this past summer in the Cape and with Team USA. I really enjoy watching him compete for his team. Already a good student, Ethan took it to another level this past fall, earning Dean’s List status. He will impact our team in a big way.”
