The 2026 campaign concluded with a 19‑20 overall record for the Gustavus Adolphus College baseball squad, a season marked by a 10‑10 mark within the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
Among the standout performers, senior Jackson Golberg posted a .336 batting average over 35 appearances, driving his on‑base percentage to 42.4% and going 10‑for‑11 in stolen‑base attempts. He also delivered a team‑best five‑hit game against Saint John's and contributed three runs in that outing, while his defensive reliability shone with a .948 fielding percentage at second base and involvement in 14 double plays.
Honorable Mentions Highlight Emerging Talent
Complementing Golberg, junior outfielder Brayden Kohls started every game, logging a team‑high 146 at‑bats. Kohls placed third in the MIAC with six triples and tenth with 40 runs scored, while also ranking 12th in stolen bases (12‑14), 12th in home runs (5) and 14th in walks (23). His outfield work was flawless, posting a .990 fielding percentage with just a single error all season.
Both athletes were recognized with MIAC All‑Conference Honorable Mention honors, a testament to their impact on a team that finished the year with a winning conference record. Their achievements build on Kohls’ prior All‑Conference selection in 2025, which helped the Gusties capture the MIAC Regular Season and Playoff titles.
