first place. He is also the program's all-time leader in

"Kevin continues to amaze
me," said head coach Doug Kovash.
"Each day I wake up, another record is broken. Not only
does he continue to shatter offensive records on a daily
basis, but, he has emerged as our #1 pitcher, one of the
best starting pitchers in the league, and has a chance to
break a couple of single season records as a pitcher as
well. A truly amazing ballplayer who will leave a legacy
that will be hard to match."
