“Donnie transitioned from the outfield to the mound his junior year,” said head coach Derek Carlson ’91. “2020 was his first year as a pitcher only. He is a strike thrower and has very good command.”
As an outfielder in 2018, Donnie made 23 starts. For his career, he had 133 at-bats with 11 RBI and 20 runs scored as a sophomore and junior, while making eight relief appearances on the hill as a junior and senior. Off the field, Donnie is a three-time Academic All-UAA selection.
