CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Former Miami Hurricanes right-handed pitcher Andrew Walters was called up from Triple-A Columbus by the Cleveland Guardians Thursday.

Walters, who played for Miami from 2021-2023, has posted a 4-0 record with a 2.32 ERA and eight saves in 50 appearances this year. The 6-foot-4, 222-pound hurler has totaled 79 strikeouts over 50 1/3 innings, limiting opposing hitters to a .180 average in his first season of professional baseball.

The 23-year-old is ranked as the No. 22 prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline.

With the promotion, Walters becomes the 68^th Hurricane to make it to the big leagues.

Prior to being chosen by the Guardians in the Competitive Balance Round B (No. 62 overall), the Palm Bay, Fla., native proved to be one of the top relievers to ever pitch at The U.

In his three years at Miami, Walters notched a 1.41 ERA and 26 saves, which are sixth-most in program history.

A two-time consensus All-American and Stopper of the Year Finalist, Walters registered a 15.0 K/9 mark, totaling 170 punchouts over 102 innings.

Walters and the Guardians are scheduled to host the Tampa Bay Rays Thursday at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
