Frost Tabbed Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week

MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State left-handed pitcher Jacob Frost, who combined with teammate Jackson Wentworth for the program's ninth no-hitter, was tabbed as the Big 12's Co-Newcomer of the Week, the Conference office announced Monday.

Frost, a junior transfer from St. Louis, Mo., is the second Wildcat this season to earn a weekly Big 12 award, joining Brady Day, who garnered Player of the Week honors last week.

Frost and Wentworth paired for the program's second combined no-hitter in its 124-year history and first combined no-hitter since 1991, as the Wildcats shutout Cincinnati 4-0 in Friday's Big 12 opener. The Cats went on to win the series, marking the first opening Big 12 series victory since 2013.

The lefty retired 21 of the 25 batters he faced in 118 pitches and surrendered just two walks with four strikeouts. He logged a season-high seven inning to pick up his second victory of the season. With Frost on the mound, only three runners reached scoring position in the game.

Friday's no-hitter was the 20^th in Big 12 Conference history, and eighth combined, and was also the first no-hitter for K-State in Big 12 play.

K-State will be back at Tointon Family Stadium Wednesday, when the Cats host South Dakota State (7-9) in game one of a two-part season series, scheduled for 3 p.m. The midweek game can be seen on Big 12 Now on ESPN+ and the ESPN app, while radio coverage is available on News Radio KMAN (93.3 FM, 1350 AM). A free live streaming audio available for all games at KStateSports.com/watch and on the K-State Sports app.
