Mar 11, 2024 | Baseball
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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. Â
Â
Friday's no-hitter was the 20th in Big 12 Conference history, and eighth combined, and was also the first no-hitter for K-State in Big 12 play.Â
Â
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.
