SEWARD, Neb. – Another dazzling outing from Concordia pitcher Jake Fosgett has resulted in him being named the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Pitcher of the Week, as announced on Tuesday (April 27). The Bulldog Baseball program has collected five GPAC weekly honors in 2021, including two from Jayden Adams, one from Jesse Garcia and another from Alex Johnson.

A senior from Carlsbad, Calif., Fosgett whirled five shutout innings while recording 12 strikeouts in a win over Jamestown this past Sunday. He limited the Jimmies to three hits and two walks. It was a continuation of a dominant run through the conference for Fosgett, who is 5-0 with a 1.69 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 26.2 innings in GPAC games. Overall, Fosgett is 7-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 80 strikeouts in 42 innings (10 appearances).

Fosgett leads all NAIA pitchers this season with an average of 17.14 strikeouts per nine innings. In his standout career, Fosgett is 14-3 with a 3.15 ERA and 226 strikeouts (second most in school history) in 145.2 innings. He was named a first team All-GPAC selection for the 2019 GPAC championship team.

Up next, Concordia (31-8, 18-6 GPAC) will be at Hastings on Friday for a 4 p.m. CT doubleheader. The Bulldogs currently hold a one-game lead atop the GPAC standings.
