This past campaign, DCFC’s first in the USL Championship, he tied for third in the Championship’s regular season with 12 shutouts and fourth in the league’s regular season and playoffs with 92 saves while delivering a save percentage of 75.2 percent.

As a reward for his stellar performance throughout the course of the season, Steinwascher was voted as Detroit City FC’s 2022 Black Arrow MVP award winner, further etching his place in club history.
