College career
In 2017 and 2018, he played collegiate summer baseball for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[2][3]
As a junior, Henry led the 2019 Michigan Wolverines baseball team to the 2019 College World Series. Despite having been hospitalized with the flu, he was the winning pitcher against No. 1 UCLA in the deciding game of the NCAA Super Regional on June 9.[4][5]
On June 17, he pitched a three-hit, complete-game shutout with 10 strikeouts against Florida State in the College World Series. Michigan coach Erik Bakich said of Henry's performance: "He was the entire storyline. We needed a strong performance, and he gave us something magical."[6][7]
On June 24, in the first game of the College World Series finals against Vanderbilt, Henry was the winning pitcher and tallied eight strikeouts.[8][9]
Overall, Henry compiled a 3–0 record, struck out 31 batters, and allowed eight earned runs in 31+2⁄3 innings during the 2019 NCAA Tournament.[10]
Professional career
Henry was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks with the 74th overall pick in the 2019 Major League Baseball draft.[11][12] Henry made three appearances in 2019 for the Hillsboro Hops after signing, going 0–0 with a 6.00 ERA over 3 innings.[13] Henry did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[14]
On August 3, 2022, the Diamondbacks selected Henry's contract from the Triple-A Reno Aces. On August 9, Henry earned his first career win after pitching seven innings of one-run ball against the Pittsburgh Pirates.[15]
Henry was optioned to the Triple-A Reno Aces to begin the 2023 season.[16] After 17 appearances (16 starts), in which he went 5–4 with a 4.15 ERA and 64 strikeouts, Henry was placed on the injured list with left elbow inflammation on July 30, 2023.[17] On August 19, he was transferred to the 60–day injured list.[18]
