Seems like a big time athlete 37 inch vert and 4.55 40 are ridiculous numbers

- Start date
And another Forbes tweet.
At least one of the three is related to Ryan Smith, a pitcher at Walters State who plans to pitch there this spring and then enroll in Chapel Hill after that.

This is player #2 of the 3 Forbes tweets. RHP Jake Moss - grad transfer from Penn.
Looks like he'll already have a Wharton Business degree. Not too shabby.
Jake's ERA is heading in the right direction:
2023 - 36.00
2024 - 9.53
2025 - 2.82
He only threw 1 inning in 2023, which I assume means he will be eligible for a retroactive redshirt once he transfers, since the Ivy League doesn't recognize redshirt status.
He appears to have some control issues, with 6 HBP, 7 WP and 13 BB in 22.1 IP last year. On the plus side, he struck out 26, and opponents hit just .214 against him. Perfect Game clocked his fastball at 91 four years ago.

Another commit from Walters State today. Jake set the bar really high for these pitchers!

Tyler struggled at JMU last year, and transferred to Walters State. He made 7 appearances for WS during their fall season, and was a strikeout machine... 16 K in 7.1 IP... which included striking out the side in his 1 inning pitched against us. He also threw 3.2 scoreless innings in the Cape Cod summer league.
This guy seems really good. Great replacement for Jake or Gavin.
Some stats for Fenton:
.376 avg
5 HR
25 SB
91 R in 65 games
He also struck out just 20 times in 284 plate appearances, and committed only 4 errors.

Tuscola ace pitcher signs with UNC and will enroll early in spring
Tuscola ace pitcher Amos Rich is officially continuing his baseball career in Chapel Hill — and his collegiate career is starting earlier than expected.
Amos Rich enrolling early; will be eligible to play this season.
"The move will make Rich eligible to play this season for the Tar Heels baseball team. It’s also accelerated his timeline for getting ready for college."
“It is an added bonus. I was kind of hoping he’d pick State because that’s my alma mater,” [Julia] Plott joked. “But this is his lifelong dream to play at Chapel Hill. That’s been cool for all this to kind of come true. God’s hand has been through it all.”
Fenton was the NJCAA gold glove winner at SS last season https://www.wsccathletics.com/sports/bsb/2024-25/releases/20250618o9iaqk
Does anyone have the boxscore from the scrimmage against Walters state from October? Curious if he played

All I found was that he had a P9 and a walk. Tommy posted that during the game thread.

“Obviously, I kind of threw the draft out the window. But I really don’t think I wanted to play professional baseball this early anyway,” Rich said. “It’s been my dream to play for UNC, and then the opportunity came, so I couldn’t say no.”
The staff thinks he's good enough to contribute right away, or they think they need an additional arm?
