Two weeks ago, I argued in a column that USC baseball needed to pay up and retain star pitcher Grant Govel for the 2027 season. Well, it appears as though the Trojans listened to me.
On Monday, Govel announced that he will forego signing with the Pittsburgh Pirates , who selected him in the 16th round of the MLB Draft . Instead, he will be returning to USC for his junior season in 2027.
This is a massive boost for the Trojans. Govel finished the 2026 campaign with a 10-3 record and a 2.87 ERA. For his performance, he earned second-team All-American honors .
With first-team All-American Mason Edwards signing with the Athletics as a second round draft pick, Govel should take over as USC’s ace next season. In Govel and NCAA Tournament hero Andrew Johnson , Trojans hope that they will once again have one of the top pitching duos in the country in 2027.
