MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis senior Danny Denz became the next Tiger baseball alumnus to join the professional ranks after signing a free-agent deal with the San Diego Padres.
The left-handed pitcher signed with the Padres on Sunday after Major League Baseball concluded its condensed five-round draft on Thursday.
In his four-year collegiate career, Denz totaled 37 appearances on the mound with 23 starts. He registered 121 strikeouts in 118 innings pitched.
In 2020, the Carpentersville, Ill., native produced a 1.50 ERA in 18 innings pitched and tallied a 2-0 record on the mound.
