UNO Pitcher Eric Orze’s path to becoming the New York Mets fifth round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft is unlike any other.
A 22-year-old who has overcome cancer, twice.
Orze was unable to play part of the 2018 season and all of 2019, battling testicular cancer and skin cancer.
In 2020, Orze went 3-0 with a 2.75 ERA and 29 Strikeouts in 19.2 innings pitched.
