The ongoing baseball offseason overhaul of the Texas pitching staff continued this week.

Ethan Walker took to social media on Tuesday to announce that he will transfer for Texas. The 6-foot, 185-pound left-handed pitcher was a redshirt freshman at Walters State Community College this spring. He went 1-2 and compiled a 4.80 ERA, but also registered 38 strikeouts over 30 innings.

His commitment came one day after reports surfaced that Texas had secured the services of McLennan College left-hander Kade Bing. As a freshman with a Highlanders team that reached the JUCO World Series, Bing was 9-2 with a 3.33 ERA and 75 strikeouts.

Since he was hired to coach the Longhorns last month, Jim Schlossnagle has made recruiting pitchers a clear priority. In addition to Bing and Walker, Texas plucked Arizona State's Thomas Burns and LSU's Aiden Moffett out of the transfer portal. Bryce Navarre, who was a senior at Montgomery in 2024, also flipped his commitment from Texas A&M.

Texas is coming off a season in which it posted a 4.91 ERA, which ranked 47th nationally and was the program's worst mark since 1999. Max Weiner will take over as UT's pitching coach after serving in the same role under Schlossnagle at A&M. This past season the Aggies posted a top-five ERA and recorded a nation-leading 12 shutouts.
