NATIONAL HONORS
West Virginia starting pitcher Jacob Watters was named a National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper after his fantastic performance against #18 Texas. The right-handed junior struck out a career-high 15 batters in the Mountaineers’ first game against the Longhorns in a doubleheader. 15 strikeouts are the most by any WVU pitcher since April of 2019. The Bland County, Virginia, native was also able to hold UT to just four runs and seven hits in 6.
