Reemsnyder Earns Baseball's First-Ever GNAC Weekly Honor, Named Rookie of the Week
WINTHROP, Mass. – Sophomore Ethan Reemsnyder (Clinton, Conn.) of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) baseball team was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Rookie of the Week, it was announced by the conference front office Monday afternoon in its third weekly report of the 2024 season. It marks the first-ever GNAC weekly honor in USJ baseball program history, as the Blue Jays are amid their inaugural NCAA season this spring.
Reemsnyder swung a hot bat this past week over six games where the Blue Jays went 4-2 down in Florida at the RussMatt Invitational, producing a .500/.556/.875 slash line. He had hits in five of six games, including four multi-hit performances, on his way to earning his first career GNAC weekly award. He opened the week strong with a 4-for-4 showing against Mount Saint Mary on Monday, scoring four times with two doubles and an RBI. After a 1-for-4 showing against Rutgers-Camden and a hitless game against Utica, Reemsnyder bounced back in a big way. He hit two home runs in a victory over Emerson on Thursday, driving in four runs, and scoring three times. He then closed out the week with two more multi-hit games, registering two knocks against Lawrence on Friday and three against Fitchburg State to close out the spring break trip on Saturday morning. He also scored three runs and drove in four in those last two games, giving him 10 runs scored and nine RBI for the week.
Overall on the 2024 season, Reemsnyder is second on the team with a .342 batting average and .579 slugging percentage. He leads the team with a .500 on-base percentage, 13 runs scored and 10 RBI, and is tied for the team lead with three doubles and two home runs.
