Devin Raftery Featured In The Miami Herald
Among all NCAA pitchers this season, Nova Southeastern University closer Devin Raftery leads the nation with 16.3 strikeouts per nine innings.
His ERA of 1.17 is second in the nation and first in Division II. Raftery also has 14 saves this season and had one performance in which he struck out 11 batters in four innings.
If there’s one major reason NSU will make its debut Saturday, May 21, in the Division II College World Series at Cary, North Carolina, it’s the 5-10, 205-pound Raftery.
“He makes batters look like fools,” NSU right fielder Kavan Thompson said of Raftery, the MVP of the South Regionals that sent the Sharks to the CWS. “It’s like the hitters have holes in their bats. It’s ridiculous how many guys he strikes out.”
