Two weeks after being named the Big West’s Freshman Pitcher of the Year, Hawaii right-hander Cooper Walls is seeking a new school.

Walls was among seven Rainbow Warriors who entered the NCAA transfer portal on Monday, the first day baseball players may apply. The portal window is open through July 1.

As a freshman, Walls was 3-3 with a 3.73 earned-run average. In 60-1/3 innings, Walls struck out 45 and walked 15. He moved into the series-opening role.
