NORFOLK, Va. – ODU baseball right-handed pitcher Hunter Gregory was named to the Preseason All-Conference USA team, as announced by the league Thursday afternoon. Head coach Chris Finwood's squad was picked to finish second in the C-USA East Division, behind Florida Atlantic.
Gregory, a junior, garnered preseason all-conference accolades after posting a 2-0 record with a 1.69 ERA over 21.1 innings of work in 2020. The Chesapeake, Virginia native also racked up a team-high 28 strikeouts and allowed just four runs.
The Monarchs finished the shortened 2020 season with a 12-4 mark, including an 11-3 record at the Bud.
ODU is set to open its season on Friday, Feb. 19 when they welcome Norfolk State to the Bud Metheny Baseball Complex.
