Mike DeBattista brings veteran relief value and strike-throwing poise to UTSA
In the 2026 season, the senior right-hander has shown UTSA it can lean on him in leverage spots: he earned wins in relief early in the year, including a 3.0-inning, 2-strikeout outing in the opener, and later delivered key scoreless relief against Texas. He’s a 6-foot-3, 190-pound arm with a proven track record as a top-300 Texas prep and top-110 righty, which helps explain the polish. The fit? A steady bullpen piece who can settle games down without much drama—pretty useful in the chaos business of college baseball.
