Eli Curtis becomes the first Tiger to enter the transfer portal this offseason

Left-handed pitcher Eli Curtis has entered his name into the transfer portal, according to D1Baseball. The pitcher entered the portal on May 26, four days after the team’s season ended at the American Conference tournament in Clearwater.

Curtis started his career at Lincoln Land CC, where he spent two seasons, before transferring to Memphis. The pitcher spent two years with the Tigers and made five appearances out of the bullpen, including four this season.

Curtis is the younger brother of Jake Curtis, who played for the Tigers during the 2023 and 2023 seasons. Curtis is now in the Chicago White Sox’s system and is currently on the Triple-A roster in Charlotte. 

Their father, Scott Curtis, and uncle, Jeff Curtis, also played for the Tigers.
