South Carolina lands Notre Dame transfer

Roman Kimball, who had a solid freshman season on the mound for the Fighting Irish, is transferring to the Gamecock program.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Another baseball player is coming to Columbia via the NCAA transfer portal.

Former Notre Dame pitcher Roman Kimball announced his intention to play for Mark Kingston and the Gamecocks.

ND will always hold a special place in my heart and I can’t thank ND enough, but due to the recent coaching changes, I felt it was best to explore other options. I am excited to announce that I will be transferring to USC this upcoming year and heading back to the 803! #spursup pic.twitter.com/1Xch6CbA4L

As a freshman this past season, Kimball recorded a 4-0 mark with a 5.76 ERA in 17 appearances, one of which was in Omaha as the Irish advanced to the College World Series.

Kimball is no stranger to the Midlands as he played his senior season at the P27 Academy in Lexington. He is the 10th player from the transfer portal who is coming to play at Founders Park.
