In 2018, Ricky DeVito took a leap bullpen piece to ace of the pitching staff and Big East Pitcher of the Year. Now, he is preparing himself to take an even bigger step in 2019.

Gone are the days of DeVito turning to his veteran counterparts for advice, as he is now the one that will be looked at as the leader of the group.
“I like it a lot because when we first come here, it’s not really your place to say much,” DeVito said.
