It is the second straight summer that Yovan will play for USA Baseball. This past season, Yovan opened the season as the Oregon Ducks Closer before moving to the Starting Role. He wrapped the 2018 season without a postseason appearance but was a stable force when he played. Yovan finished the year at 6-4 with a 2.98 Earned Run Average.
Yovan also found success at the plate hitting .233 with three home runs and 12 Runs Batted In. Entering the 2019 season, Yovan is expected to be a key contributor to the Oregon Rotation and will likely land the spot as the Friday Starter, where he ended the season for Oregon in 2018.
