Kalamazoo's Jacob Davis Named NCBWA Pitcher of the Week

-- Story provided by Kalamazoo College Athletics --

Jacob Davis of the Kalamazoo College baseball team was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division III Pitcher of the Week on Wednesday, March 5th.

He becomes just the second pitcher in Kalamazoo history and the fourth Hornet overall to earn this recognition.

Earlier this week, Davis also secured a spot on the D3baseball.com Team of the Week and was honored as the MIAA Pitcher of the Week.

A senior from Perrysburg, Ohio (St. John's Jesuit), Davis delivered a dominant performance in the Hornet's weekend series, pitching a complete-game shutout in a 4-0 victory over Earlham.

He was nearly unhittable, allowing just one hit – a leadoff single in the fourth inning – while setting a new program record for the fewest hits allowed in a nine-inning game. Davis previously held the record with a three-hit performance against Calvin in 2024.

Additionally, Davis struck out 13 batters, tying for the second-most strikeouts in a single game in Kalamazoo history, while issuing only four walks.

Davis holds a 1-1 record on the mound this season, with 16 strikeouts, nine hits allowed, and six walks.

The Hornets return to action on March 8-9 as they travel to Bloomington, IL, to face Elmhurst and Illinois Tech.
