A former Nebraska baseball player made his AAA debut last week. Pitch Cade Povich made his debut for the Norfolk Tides of the International League on Friday night.
Povich had a rough outing as he only threw 2.1 innings while surrendering four runs. Norfolk is the AAA affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.
Povich pitched at Nebraska during the 2020 and 2021 seasons and was a first-team All-Big Ten in 2021. He would post a record of 6-1 with an ERA of 3.11 in 81 innings.
He was taken in the third round of the 2021 MLB draft by the Minnesota Twins. Povich was traded to Baltimore in the 2022 trade for Jorge Lopez.
