GLENSIDE, Pa. - The Collegiate Baseball Newspaper has released its 2020 NCAA Division III Preseason Watch List, and a trio of Arcadia University seniors -
Mitch Blake,
Jeremy Sabathne, and
Dylan Towey - were honored in the annual publication.
Blake proved to be one of the top relief pitchers in the MAC Commonwealth a season ago, logging 2.35 ERA, 23 strikeouts, and four saves in 23 innings of work across 12 appearances. Sabathne tied for the team lead in starts with ten and compiled a 6-4 record during his junior campaign. The right-hander also turned in three complete-games over the course of the 2019 season while striking out 33 in an even 60 innings of work. Towey, a 2019 First-team All-MAC Commonwealth selection, batted .326 with 34 RBI, 34 runs scored and three home runs in 41 games last season in the middle of the Knight lineup.
Arcadia opens its 2020 season at Methodist's Diamond Invitational in Fayetteville, N.C. beginning Feb. 14. The Knights open the weekend against host Methodist Friday before rounding out the weekend with Bridgewater and DeSales on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
