Congratulations to former Steward baseball player Nic Enright ’15, who made his Major League debut with the Cleveland Guardians on May 25!

The former Virginia Tech pitcher made his first appearance on May 25 as the Cleveland Guardians’ relief pitcher against the Detroit Tigers. He pitched two innings with no runs allowed and struck out three batters against the Tigers, who have the best record in the MLB. The Richmond Times-Dispatch covered the story (including Mr. Enright’s 2022 cancer diagnosis) in its May 27 edition and its May 29 sports section and top story section. Mr. Enright’s story was also featured in The New York Times and the Henrico Citizen, and on the MLB website. 

While at Steward, Mr. Enright was named the Gatorade Virginia Baseball Player of the Year — the first and only Steward athlete to achieve this honor. He was a member of Steward’s state championship team in 2014 and was drafted by the New York Mets in 2015, but chose to attend Virginia Tech. (AP photo)
