After losing six pitchers to the MLB Draft, the South Carolina baseball team returns a veteran bullpen piece for 2022.
The Gamecocks ended the draft with eight current players and three signees selected.
Peters anchored the South Carolina bullpen in 2021, appearing in 19 gams and posting a 4-1 record with a 3.62 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 32.1 innings.
He joins fellow teammate Brannon Jordan, who was also taken by the Brewers in the 9th round Monday evening.
Jordan, a senior from Collinsville, Okla., posted a 5-6 record and a 4.58 ERA across 15 starts as the primary Saturday night pitcher for South Carolina.
It took until the 5th round of the 2021 MLB Draft for the first Gamecock to be taken off the board, but the wait for No. 2 and 3 was not nearly as long.
He posted a 5-1 record with a 2.15 ERA and struck out 84 batters in just 54.1 innings working primarily out of the bullpen last season.
Mooney started at shortstop for the Gamecocks on the 2011 National Championship team, then was taken in the 21st round of the MLB Draft that summer by the Toronto Blue Jays.
Longtime USC Upstate men’s basketball coach Eddie Payne passed in the early morning hours of Wednesday, July 7, 2021, following a sudden illness. The family has not announced service arrangements at this time.
