“We feel he has the potential to be similar to Brent Headrick,” said Holm, referring to last season’s Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Year. “We loved his size and angle on the mound as well as his athleticism.”
“Savi is a tremendous runner. We think his swing translated to Division I immediately, allowing him the opportunity to be an impact player,” Holm said. “Jared is a left-handed pitcher we felt would join our rotation immediately upon his arrival. He possesses an 87-90 mph fastball with a plus breaking ball.”
