D1BASEBALL – Indiana State pitchers Brennyn Cutts and Jared Spencer were named among the top players at their position by D1Baseball as the organization announced their Week 6 Positional Rankings this week.
 
Cutts was named the No. 143 starting pitcher in the NCAA Division I, while Spencer checked in as the No. 13 relief pitcher after the first six weeks of the 2024 season. Cutts makes his first appearance in the D1Baseball positional rankings, while Spencer remains in the top-15 in the position group as announced by the organization on March 28.
 
Cutts has posted six starts among his seven appearances in the 2024 season. The Greenup, Ill. native has posted a 3-1 record on the mound with a 3.46 ERA and been a part of two of ISU's three shutouts on the mound this season coming against both Florida A&M (15-0) and Xavier (5-0).
 
Cutts is tied for the team lead with 26.0-innings on the mound while allowing opponents to hit .248 from the plate. He's posted a 28:12 strikeout-to-walk ratio on the season with a season-high seven strikeouts coming back on March 10 at Florida A&M.
 
The junior right-hander is coming off a career-long 6.1-inning outing against Missouri State this past Saturday allowing five hits while striking out six as the Sycamores evened the series with a 3-0 win over the Bears.
 
Spencer has made seven appearances out of the bullpen in the 2024 season posting a 4-0 record with a 3.52 ERA on the year. The Centreville, Mich. native has gone 15.1 innings with two saves on the year while highlighting a strong ISU bullpen.
 
Spencer has posted a 23:8 strikeout-to-walk ratio on the year while allowing opponents to hit just .217 from the plate. He's gone at least 2.0-innings in five of his seven appearances, including a 2.1-inning, six strikeout game against Southern Miss back on March 3 in Hattiesburg.
 
The Sycamore left-hander has allowed one or fewer runs in six of his seven appearances including a 2.2-inning shutout relief appearance against Missouri State on March 23 for his second save of the year.
 
Indiana State closes out their longest home stand of the 2024 season this weekend as the Sycamores host the UIC Flames for a three-game Missouri Valley Conference series over March 29-31. Friday's game will be carried live on ESPN+, while all three games will be broadcast live on 105.5 The Legend.
