Conover had spent his first two seasons pitching for the Seton Hall University Pirates. Conover had some bright moments and was considered to be a top transfer last offseason when he was in the portal.
The Seton Hall transfer was a Cape Cod All-Star and was also drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 20th round of the 2022 MLB Draft. He decided to enroll at Rutgers and earned a role in their weekend rotation.
In his one season at Rutgers, Conover made seventeen appearances and fourteen starts. Conover posted a 5-4 record with a 4.50 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and struck out 83 batters in 68 innings pitched.
On MLB Pipeline, Conover is the 220th-ranked prospect in the 2023 MLB Draft. On ESPN, Conover is ranked a little higher as he’s the 212th-ranked draft prospect in this draft class. He’s also the second highest-ranked Scarlet Knight in each draft class.
