In his redshirt-junior season in 2021, Uberstine pitched 39.2 innings and recorded a 5.90 ERA. The 6'1", 200 pound RHP pitched four scoreless innings against Penn State (3/6) and recorded a career-high eight strikeouts against Rutgers (4/10). 

The Red Sox will retain the rights to sign Uberstine until August 1st, or until he elects to return to Northwestern or another four-year college on a full-time basis.

Per Major League Baseball's first-year player draft rules, "a player who is drafted and does not sign with the Club that selected him may be drafted again at a future year's Draft, so long as the player is eligible for that year's Draft. A Club may not select a player again in a subsequent year, unless the player has consented to the re-selection."
