BILLINGS — Billings Central graduate and right-handed pitcher Brock Blatter is leaving Southern Cal after one season.
Blatter, a 6-foot-6, 230-pound hurler, announced via social media on Tuesday that he will enter the NCAA transfer portal. Blatter appeared in nine games as a sophomore this season with the Trojans, posting a 3.00 ERA with 15 strikeouts and 12 walks in nine innings.
Blatter's last appearance on the mound for the Trojans came on April 9 against UC Irvine. USC's season ended with a 4-3 loss to Arizona in the Pac-12 championship game on May 25.
I want to thank the coaching staff and everyone at USC this past year. However, I have decided to enter the transfer portal.
