Josh Pettitte Leaves Baylor for Rice

A lot has happened in the Pettitte house over the last fourteen months.

In February, then-high school senior Josh threw a no-hitter.  Four months later, he found himself drafted by the New York Yankees, heading to Baylor on a baseball scholarship, shelved due to Tommy John surgery and now, without even throwing as much as a pitch for the Bears, there’s this.

True freshman RHP Josh Pettitte to transfer, team announced today. Wants to play closer to home (Deer Park, TX).

And, the new pitcher for your Rice Owls is only 19.

Oh…and then there’s Dad Andy, who, following the 2013 season, called it quits.  Something tells me this family needs a vacation.

Never mind.
