After adding two players on offensive side of things a few weeks ago, the Louisville pitching staff landed a massive transfer from Wright State University, Sebastian Gongora (LHP), who was named Pitcher of the Year in the Horizon League in 2023.
Gongora, the Raiders ace, compiled a 10-1 record with a 3.17 ERA, striking out 89 batters over 93.2 innings. The 6’5, 215 lbs lefty works up to 94 MPH that is complimented by a change-up and slider in his three-pitch mix.
It is very early, but the Cardinals rotation just got a lot better as Gongora is likely to be a weekend starter along with Carson Liggett in 2024 when the season begins.
