Mizzou Baseball Adds Transfer from South Carolina: The Buzz

The Missouri Tigers baseball program secured their fifth commitment of this year's transfer portal cycle, landing Jase Woita out of South Carolina.

Woita has the most Power Five experience out of any of Missouri's other transfers thus far, taking 120 at bats with South Carolina this last season. He bat .300 while hitting six home runs and 20 RBIs. He mostly appeared as a designated hitter for the Gamecocks.

Woita's hitting ability will be a needed boost to the Missouri roster. Last year, five Missouri players bat at or above .300, and two of them have transferred out of the program.

Woita is a Lincoln, Nebraska native, and spent the first three seasons of his career at Kansas City Kansas Community College.
