Great opportunity for Kaunas, who had an excellent freshman year for the Terps.
The Commodores are excited to welcome Ty Kaunas, a utility player from the University of Maryland. Kaunas is from Jefferson, MD and is a rising Sophomore at UM. In High School, Ty was ranked the thirteenth best player and third best shortstop in the state by Perfect Game.

The hits keep coming for the Terps. Cespedes was one of their best arms all season and had a few good starts to end the year.
Transfer🚨 Cristofer Cespedes, sophomore RHP from Maryland University is entering the portal. Threw 51.1 innings this year striking out 70 guys making 3 starts and 21 appearances. Pitched to a 4.18 ERA with a near 30%K rate and 12.2K/9. A high quality arm to enter the portal.
