Deardorff is the second straight Kohawk to earn A-R-C Pitcher of the Year honors, following in the footsteps on 2019 Pitcher of the Year Zach Kammin. Overall, he marks the third Kohawk to win the honor (Alec Lewis, 2010) since it became a major award in 2008.
The senior started a game in each of Coe's weekend series this season and had the league's third-best ERA in conference contests at 1.81, being only one of three A-R-C pitchers to hold a sub-2.00 ERA. He started eight games for the Kohawks, going the distance four times. Holding a conference record of 9-0 with 54.2 innings pitched and opponents only hitting .179 off him, which sat second-best in the A-R-C. Having an arsenal of pitches, Deardorff led the conference with 54 strike outs, 17 of them being strike outs looking.
