EUGENE, O.R. – Former Chowan University baseball standout, Shane Rademacher, is off to a good start in the opening month of play in the High-A Class league. Rademacher plays for the Eugene Emeralds and tossed a gem of a game last week to earn the Minor League Baseball Northwest League Player of the Week. 

Rademacher, a 2023 graduate of Chowan and former standout pitcher for the Hawks, was signed as a free agent in 2023 by the San Francisco Giants. He spent last year in San Jose with the Giants in Single A before moving up to High-A this year in Eugene. 

Rademacher tossed a gem for the Eugene Emeralds on April 13th against the Tri-City Dust Devils. He threw 5.0 innings, giving up one hit and striking out three Dust Devil batters. Rademacher has appeared in two games this season with nine innings pitched, five strikeouts and a 1.00 earned run average.
