⚔️ ONE BIG THING

Caden Aoki and Kyle Wisch earned ABCA All-West Region Second Team status after their contributions on the mound this season.

• Aoki solidified himself as not only one of the best pitchers on the roster, but one of the best in the nation. He posted a 2.98 ERA, a Pac-12 best this season, in 63.1 innings pitched.

• WIsch had himself a solid season as a reliever with the 6th most saves in the Pac-12 and posting a 1.98 ERA, the best among all Trojan pitchers with more than five innings pitched.

Both will return next season to help the budding Trojan squad improve on a stellar 2023 season.
