Virginia’s pitching staff has continued to grow with the addition of veteran Oklahoma State southpaw Ryan Ure, who announced via his Twitter account that he is a Cavalier.
Ure, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound hurler from Eaton, Okla., reportedly has a fastball timed in excess of 100 mph. For the Cowboys in 2025, Ure made 19 appearances, including 5 saves (2-5 W-L record) over 23 innings, struck out 28 and walked only 9.
He suffered an arm injury in 2022 and underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the entire 2023 season. When he came back in ‘24, he broke in slowly with 9 appearances with 9 strikeouts and 1 walk, compiling a 4.91 ERA.
Ure will be a senior this season.
Virginia coach Chris Pollard is assembling quite a pitching staff via the transfer portal and flipping former Duke commitments to UVA.
