The 23-year-old posted a 7-2 record in 15 starts with the Sea Dogs in 2025 with a 2.51 ERA and 96 strikeouts in 71.2 innings. He earned Eastern League Pitcher of the Week honors for the week of June 23rd through 29th after firing six no-hit innings against the Binghamton Rumble Ponies on June 29th.
