Mason Koch, a baseball pitcher who previously played for Creighton, has announced his transfer back to his hometown program for his final season of eligibility. Koch, originally from Omaha, Nebraska, had transferred to Auburn but only appeared in three games over two seasons. During his sophomore year at Creighton, Koch achieved a 5-1 record with a 3.29 ERA, striking out 60 batters in 38 1/3 innings across 25 games.
His time at Auburn was limited, with appearances only during the 2025 season where he pitched three innings in total. One of his notable outings was against Texas, where he allowed only one baserunner. Koch is the first Auburn player to announce his transfer destination, with other players like Bristol Carter and Justice de Jong still seeking new teams. Auburn has since added three pitchers and two fielders from the transfer portal.
