BOURNE, Mass. — It was a quick turnaround for Drew Wyers (Mississippi State) after getting the call from field manager Scott Landers late last week to come play for the Braves.

He arrived on Wednesday, then was immediately thrust into game action on Thursday against the Brewster Whitecaps.

"I got up here right before early work, came right to the field," Wyers said. "I drove a few hours from New Jersey and got right to Doran Park and got after it."

Despite only being on the Cape for a short time now, he became an impact player for Bourne in his first appearance. He was a spark plug in the bottom of the order, going 3-for-5 with a pair of runs and a RBI out of the No. 8 spot in the lineup.

The success at the plate shouldn't be a surprise, as he's coming off of a season where he won the America East batting title for Bryant with a .422 batting average during the 40-game regular season.

"Not that bad for not playing in six weeks," Wyers said. "Just going out there, trying to make contact and see the ball, see pitches in the zone, and make good decisions. Just continuing what I did this past season and building confidence. I'm here for the rest of the three weeks. I'm really excited and hopefully we make the postseason — really excited to be here."

It's been quite the collegiate journey for Wyers. He played his freshman year at Stetson, his sophomore campaign at Manhattan, this past year at Bryant and will be taking his talents to Missispi State for his senior and final season at the collegiate level.

Wyers said it was hard to deal with the constant changes, though not all of it was in his control, but he's been appreciative for every team that's taken a chance on him.

"It's been a little unlucky with two coaching changes, but I've loved every spot, played at every spot," Wyers said. "I've made really good relationships and still talk to everybody from all three previous schools. I'm excited for this next journey and continuing to build and continuing to get better and see how this process continues to go."

So the final stop for Wyers will be Mississippi State, where he credits the coaches, culture, atmosphere and SEC competition as to why it was the right fit.

He hopes to contribute to a squad that puts together a dominant 2026 campaign, and put together a strong showing himself as he pursues MLB dreams.

"Having the opportunity to go play in the SEC for my last year is very important — just to continue to grind and hopefully make a big statement going into next year's draft," Wyers said. "Hopefully we win a national championship at Mississippi State first, and then we can worry about pro ball stuff after."

Before Wyers heads to Starkville, he'll be spending the remainder of the campaign with the Braves. He's already digging his first time on the Cape and he's ready to make some noise.

"Very excited for the opportunity. It's been such a great experience so far," Wyers said. "Nothing beats being on the Cape. Nothing beats this competition. I'm glad I can come up here and have a good time with this group of guys and this coaching staff and continue to develop and continue to play the game of baseball."
