CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Right-handed pitcher Andrew Devine, who played four seasons at Texas Tech, will join Austin Peay State University's baseball team for the 2024 season, head coach Roland Fanning announced Tuesday.
Devine, a Simi Valley, California native, made 53 appearances, 49 in relief, over four seasons in Lubbock. He struck out 78 batters in 63.0 innings pitched and held opponents to a .254 batting average. Last season, Devine made 14 relief appearances and ended the year with a 1-3 record and a save.
Devine made 16 appearances, including four starts, during the 2022 season and finished the year with a 2-1 record, a save, and a 4.30 ERA. He held opponents to a .233 batting average that season and struck out 26 batters over 23 innings pitched. Devine made six appearances in Big 12 play and did not allow a run in 7.1 innings pitched, striking out nine batters.
As a freshman, Devine helped Texas Tech power to a 16-3 opening record before the season's cancelation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He ended the short season with a 1.23 ERA in 7.1 innings over six outings, finishing with a 1-0 record and a save.
