Photo: UVA Athletics<\/p>\n<p>No surprise here, that Matt Augustin, a 6\u20193\u201d righthander who was only used seven times in 2026 by the new UVA Baseball coaching staff, is in the transfer portal \u2013 one of three \u2018Hoos to enter the portal on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Augustin (2-0, 2.57 ERA, 1.43 WHIP in 2026) was used quite sparingly \u2013 seven innings across his seven appearances, and only once after a scoreless inning of mop-up work in a 9-3 home loss to Florida State on April 4.<\/p>\n<p>Augustin missed the 2025 season with nerve damage in his right bicep.<\/p>\n<p>As a freshman in 2024, he was 2-0 with a 4.13 ERA\/1.48 WHIP in 28.1 innings for a UVA team that made it to Omaha.<\/p>\n<p>His first game back from the injury was a Feb. 25 appearance against George Washington in an 11-0 Virginia win.<\/p>\n<p>A story from Jeff White on VirginiaSports.com noted that Augustin\u2019s fastball touched 95 mph during that brief appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe arm looks live, fatigued quickly, but he hasn\u2019t had a lot of live outings, even this spring, and so, we didn\u2019t get him out of there because of ineffectiveness, we just got him out of there because he was starting to fatigue. But it\u2019s a really encouraging sign to see how good his stuff looked,\u201d first-year Virginia head coach Chris Pollard said after Augustin\u2019s return.<\/p>\n<p>Given that Pollard dramatically limited his pool of leverage set-up relievers to pretty much Lucas Hartman and Kevin Jaxel, both of whom ran out of steam weeks ago, and still kept getting trotted out there to take their lumps, it was fair to expect a guy like Augustin to hit the road.<\/p>\n<p>Also entering the portal on Monday:<\/p>\n<p>OF LJ Edwards, a freshman who got one AB in 2026. Edwards was the #7 player in the state of Florida and was #76 nationally in the 2025 class.<br \/>\nRHP Ben Schulman, a freshman who didn\u2019t get on the field for Virginia in 2026. Schulman was the #19 player in the state of New York in the 2025 class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matt Augustin.
