Andrew Sears Makes MLB Debut | Detroit Tigers News

Andrew Sears, a former UConn Husky who transferred from Rhode Island College, just made his MLB debut with the Detroit Tigers — and he’s part of an unprecedented run: six UConn baseball players in the majors this year, the most ever for the program. After a dominant college season with 74 strikeouts, he was drafted in the 10th round and climbed through the minors, shining at Double-A Erie with a 2.16 ERA and dominating at Triple-A Toledo without giving up an earned run. His big league debut? Four innings, five runs, three strikeouts — and a loss — but still a historic milestone. Even more remarkable? He’s the first UConn transfer to be drafted and reach the majors in the NIL/transfer portal era, carving out a new blueprint for college athletes.
