The Terps continue to add bats in the portal after losing a lot of production.

After today, the Terps have now lost 5 everyday bats.
- Ty Kaunas
- Jordan Crosland
- Bud Coombs
- Paul Jones II
- Nate Hawton-Henley
Plus many key role players including Franklin Pichardo Jr., Aden Hill and Colin Gibbs.

[Ari Plotkin @PlotkinAri]

2026 All Big Ten Freshman Bud Coombs has entered the portal. Another key piece lost for the Terps.

[Inside Maryland Sports @Terrapins247]

BREAKING: Maryland dual-sport athlete Bud Coombs has entered the transfer portal, InsideMDSports has learned. Coombs redshirted in football last fall, but starred on the diamond this spring. Big loss for the Terps.

[Logan Hastings @Logan_Hastings2]

I want to thank the Maryland coaching staff for the last 2 years.

With that being said I will be entering the transfer portal with 2 years of eligibility remaining.

The bad news keeps coming for the Terps. Nate Hawton-Henley had a great freshman season and has a bright future ahead.

[aroundthehorn @_aroundthehorn_]

Transfer🚨 @Jadenhardin5 confirms Maryland freshman OF Nate Hawton-Henley is entering the transfer portal. Led the team in AVG, hitting .364 with a .477 OBP. 1/4 of his hits went for XBH showing off both the speed and power.

[Ari Plotkin @PlotkinAri]

Another important loss for the Terps. Koshy was a key piece out of the bullpen this past season.

[Andrew Koshy @koshy_andrew]

I would like to thank the Maryland coaching staff for the past 2 years.

With that being said I will be entering the transfer portal with 1 year of eligibility remaining.

Backbreaking and surprising news today out of College Park for the Terps. Kaunas is a highly touted local product who had a really strong freshman year.

[Inside Maryland Sports @Terrapins247]

Standout Maryland freshman infielder Ty Kaunas has entered the transfer portal.

[Ari Plotkin @PlotkinAri]

Great opportunity for Kaunas, who had an excellent freshman year for the Terps.

[Falmouth Commodores @FalCommodores]

The Commodores are excited to welcome Ty Kaunas, a utility player from the University of Maryland.

Kaunas is from Jefferson, MD and is a rising Sophomore at UM. In High School, Ty was ranked the thirteenth best player and third best shortstop in the state by Perfect Game.

[Ari Plotkin @PlotkinAri]

The hits keep coming for the Terps. Cespedes was one of their best arms all season and had a few good starts to end the year.

[aroundthehorn @_aroundthehorn_]

Transfer🚨 Cristofer Cespedes, sophomore RHP from Maryland University is entering the portal. Threw 51.1 innings this year striking out 70 guys making 3 starts and 21 appearances. Pitched to a 4.18 ERA with a near 30%K rate and 12.2K/9.
A high quality arm to enter the portal.

[Ari Plotkin @PlotkinAri]

Huge news here out of College Park. Paul Jones II was an elite power bat for the Terps this season.

[aroundthehorn @_aroundthehorn_]

Transfer🚨 Maryland sophomore 1B Paul Jones II is entering the transfer portal. He had a breakout season hitting .323 with 12HR and 54 RBI totaling a .988 OPS. Was one of the best bats in a Maryland lineup getting over 200 AB this season.

[Colin Gibbs @colingibbs20]

Would like to thank the Maryland coaching staff for the last two years. I am going to enter the Transfer Portal with 3 years of eligibility remaining.
