A standout week for the Red Storm
Jayder Raifstanger was selected for the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll after a commanding performance in the final regular‑season series against Butler.
He started all three games, going 6‑for‑13 with a home run, a double, a walk, three runs scored and six RBIs, producing a .462/.500/.769 slash line.
His three‑run blast in the third inning of game two put the Johnnies ahead, and his near‑cycle effort — four hits including a double and a homer — helped St. John's secure its seventh consecutive conference series victory.
The production also contributed to the team sharing the 2026 BIG EAST Regular Season title, and the club will now travel to Mason, Ohio, for the opening round of the 2026 BIG EAST Tournament on May 20.
The acknowledgment follows his earlier honor on March 3, 2025, highlighting a consistent impact throughout the campaign.
