South Carolina baseball transfer portal tracker

GamecockCentral’s transfer portal tracker will provide a snapshot of all the South Carolina players who have entered the portal, announced their intentions to do so, or that sources have indicated those intentions.

We will also use it to track players from other schools who have committed to the Gamecocks from the portal.

The portal opened officially for one month for underclassmen on June 2nd, but transfer news has already started breaking. Graduate students can enter the portal at any time.

*The tracker will update throughout the spring*

South Carolina Baseball Transfer Commitments

Josh Gregoire (Louisiana Monroe): Gregoire, a Baton Rouge native familiar with South Carolina baseball coach Paul Mainieri from his days at LSU, is a bullpen arm who had a strong 2025 season at ULM. Gregoire began his career at LSU-Eunice before transferring to Louisiana Monroe. He has a fastball that can touch the mid-90s, and his splitter was one of the best in the country this spring. Fittingly, his nickname is “The Rooster.” He will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Logan Sutter (Purdue): Sutter transfers to South Carolina from the BIG Ten, where he was the Boilermakers’ Offensive Player of the Year and an All-BIG Ten performer. Sutter bopped 15 home runs and 22 doubles in 2025; both numbers were higher than any on USC’s team. He plays both corner infield spots and has gotten a lot of run at designated hitter. Sutter spent two years playing at the junior college level before two seasons at Purdue. Based on the NCAA’s recent decisions on former junior college athletes, he should have one year of eligibility remaining.

Cullen Horowicz (Samford): A former Army, San Jacinto Junior College, and Samford two-way player, Horowicz logged an 8.71 ERA in 10.1 innings as a bullpen arm and hit .063 at the plate. His tools are better than his numbers, though, making him an interesting player for Paul Mainieri’s 2026 squad. As a pitcher, Horowicz logged 20 strikeouts in his 10.1 innings, and as a hitter, he hit five home runs as a part-time player in 2024. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

RHP Amp Phillips (USC-Upstate): A South Carolina native who has pitched at both Spartaburg Methodist and USC-Upstate, Phillips had a nice season in 2025. He pitched in both a starter and reliever role this spring, getting 12 starts and pitching out of the bullpen eight times. Phillips went 7-2 with a 3.64 ERA and an 81-29 K-BB ratio over 84 overall innings. Listed as a redshirt sophomore this year at Upstate, he should have two years left to pitch at Carolina.

Transfer portal background information

The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II, and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.

The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.

Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored. In other words, if a player enters the portal but decides to stay, the school is not obligated to provide a scholarship anymore.
