The hits just keep coming. Great returning piece for the #UVA pitching staff.
After talking with Coach Pollard, I have decided to withdraw my name from the transfer portal and return to the University of Virginia. Excited to be back in Charlottesville!.

Another one, this time with 90 strikeouts in 66 innings. Might be a lot of “swing and a miss” calls at the Dish next season.

Further confirmation.
I can confirm that Eric Becker is indeed staying at Virginia. This is a huge coup for Pollard & his staff, who didn’t quite land Becker out of high school but were very close. Slashed .368/.453/.617 in 2025. One of the top portal players out there is staying home.

Duke outfielder Zach Jackson has committed to UVA. Jackson played in 16 games as a freshman with 2 RBI and 5 runs scored in only 4 at bats. Jackson was also a safety for the Duke football team.
