A Historic Season for the Hawks
Blake Primrose, a sophomore catcher for Saint Joseph's, has been recognized with All‑America Third Team honors from both the American Baseball Coaches Association and Baseball America, adding to his earlier NCBWA Second Team selection.
The accolades mark a breakthrough season in which Primrose shattered single‑season program records with 24 home runs, 78 runs scored and 72 runs batted in, while also being named Atlantic 10 Player of the Year.
His performance extended beyond the field, earning him NCBWA District 1 Co‑Player of the Year, three A‑10 Player of the Week selections and the conference’s April Hitter of the Month award.
Primrose also distinguished himself as one of just 16 semifinalists for the Buster Posey Award, given to the nation’s top collegiate catcher, underscoring his impact as a defensive and offensive leader.
