Ben Wereski joins the Saltdogs after a standout senior season in the Rutgers’ weekend rotation. Wereski went 6-2 with a 3.62 ERA in 13 appearances as a fifth-year senior after not pitching in 2020 during the shortened college baseball season. The left-hander from Buffalo, NY led the Big Ten with a 0.99 WHIP and finished in the Top 10 of the conference in both innings pitched (76) and opponent batting average (.226). Wereski’s six wins were the most for a Scarlet Knight starter since 2016 and he picked up eight quality starts and five starts in which he allowed one run or fewer.
