One of the most often-used relievers by head coach Steve Owens for a 30-win Rutgers team in 2023, Mazza joins two other Scarlet Knight teammates in Keene, marking four consecutive seasons with representation from Rutgers at Alumni Field (including 2022 NECBL Most Improved Player and NECBL All-Star Grant Besser).  In his first 21 relief appearances of 2023, Mazza struck out 28 in 29.1 innings while pitching to a 3.94 ERA.  He struck out a season-high three three times, including in a 3.1 inning outing at Purdue on April 29.  Prior to RU at Manalapan High School, Mazza played in the New Jersey North-South All-Star Game.  He chose Rutgers “because (he) wanted to play for my home state and get the opportunity to get a great education while playing Division I baseball for a great program in the Big Ten Conference.”
