The lefty also pitched six or more innings in nine of his 13 starts and allowed three runs or less in 10 of his starts in 2022. He also set a career-high with 12 strikeouts against Florida State as the Irish won 2-0 in 12 innings in Tallahassee earlier this spring.
Fellow graduate student and Notre Dame outfielder Ryan Cole was named to the All-ACC Third Team, which is his first all-conference honor during his time in South Bend.
