2023 All-Big Ten Third Team
Drafted by Detroit Tigers (Round 20, Pick #597) in 2022 MLB Draft
2022 Cape Cod League All-Star
Why Rutgers? “I chose Rutgers because it allowed me the opportunity to play for my home state and go to a strong academic school. Given both my parents went to school at Rutgers and were athletes, I was very familiar with the university. I also chose Rutgers because the coaches prepare us to win and care about player development.”
Head Coach Steve Owens: "Drew will be a huge addition to our pitching staff for next year. He has three very good swing-and-miss pitches from a unique arm slot. He has shown tremendous improvement and will get great experience in the Cape this summer. He has the size and athleticism to not only be an impact arm in the Big Ten, but also pitch professionally."
