Alumni Roundup: Week Six

March 23, 2026


We're in the middle stages of the college baseball season, and our Top Tier alums are hitting their stride. Just ask Tomas Valincius who is turning in impressive outing after impressive outing. Or, take Jimmy Anderson at the JUCO ranks. He caught fire early on and has never lost his sizzle now nearing the end of March. 

As the weather warms up across the country, we're seeing players get hot at the right time, too.

Here are the top performances from week six:

Tomas Valincius put together another dominant outing against Vanderbilt on Saturday. He fired seven innings while striking out 14 hitters. He did not allow an earned run, though two unearned came across. Valincius improved to 5-0 on the season with a 1.04 ERA as Mississippi State secured a 7-2 win in Starkville as part of a series sweep. He now ranks third in the SEC in innings pitched and is tied for the conference lead in wins.


Hunter Dietz earned a no-decision in Arkansas’ 3-2 win over South Carolina on Saturday but turned in another strong performance. The left-hander went 6.2 innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out 12. Dietz continues to rack up strikeouts at a high rate, now totaling 54 on the season across 30.1 innings placing him among the SEC leaders.



Michael Addari made the start for Illinois State on Saturday against Belmont and earned his third win of the season. He threw five innings of one-run, five-hit baseball while striking out seven in a 10-4 Redbirds victory. Addari now holds a 1.04 ERA through 26 innings and has walked just four hitters across his last 63 batters faced.



Jaden Correa continued to produce despite a tough weekend for Morehead State, launching his seventh home run of the season. The Eagles were swept by SIUE and have now dropped six straight but Correa remained a bright spot. He collected five hits on the weekend, including a 4-for-6 performance with three RBI in the series finale.


Cade Kurland returned to the Florida lineup after being sidelined for nearly a month. He recorded a hit against Alabama as the Gators were swept in Tuscaloosa.


Graham Mastros tallied five hits over the weekend in Illinois State’s sweep of Belmont. He added a pair of doubles and drove in two runs in the series finale. Mastros is now hitting .374 on the season and has been a steady presence in the Redbirds’ lineup since his early-season breakout.


Brenden Stressler belted a home run in the series finale against Nebraska. Michigan ultimately dropped the series in Ann Arbor but Stressler continues to swing a hot bat, now hitting .357 through 56 at-bats this season.



Elijah McNeal collected four hits over the weekend for UC Davis, including two doubles. The Aggies dropped the first two games of the series, with the finale against Cal Poly taking place today.


Zach Kwasny got the start for Ball State in the series finale against Western Michigan. He worked 2.2 innings, allowing three runs on five hits while receiving a no-decision. Ball State went on to win the contest, 7-5.


Colin Husko put together a solid weekend at the plate against Southern Illinois, collecting four hits across the series. He added a double in the finale and drove in three runs, recording at least one RBI in each game he played in.

Cal Schembra tallied four hits over the weekend for Valparaiso. He capped the series with a strong showing on Sunday, recording a double and a home run despite the loss. Schembra is now hitting .333 on the season through 72 at-bats. Valparaiso dropped the series to Murray State and will head to Purdue for a midweek matchup before hosting Indiana State to close out March.


John Abraham took the mound in the series opener against NC State for Florida State. The right-hander threw 3.2 innings, allowing one unearned run on two hits while striking out six. He lowered his season ERA to 0.42 following the outing.


Jack Scheri had a four-hit weekend against Monmouth University. The Stony Brook outfielder has a four-game hit streak dating back to last week’s finale against Charleston. Scheri is hitting .233 in 30 at-bats this season.


At the Division II level, Jimmy Spellman had a two-homer  game against William Jewell on Saturday. He drove in five on the weekend.

Jimmy Anderson has been on a tear for Heartland. He has recorded a hit in every game he’s played in this season, sporting a .459 average. The JUCO standout and Kentucky commit has 11 homers and 33 driven in so far this season. 


Peter Ensign went 3 for 3 for NAIA’s Taylor University against Mount Vernon Nazarene. He had one knocked in.
