2025 GLIAC PITCHER OF THE YEAR
Keegan Batka, Davenport
Keegan Batka becomes the first Panther to earn GLIAC Pitcher of the Year honors. He made a huge impact in his one season at Davenport after transferring in from Central Michigan University. Batka had a sterling earned-run average of 2.36 in his five GLIAC starts this season. He led the league with 41 strikeouts in those five starts and was just one of four hurlers to throw a shutout. He earned NCBWA Division II National Pitcher of the Year after a nine-inning, one-hit blanking of Wayne State with nine strikeouts back on Apr. 26. He was named the GLIAC Pitcher of the Week four times this season and struck out eight or more batters in four of his five GLIAC starts. His season high was 11 punchouts in just six innings against Parkside on Apr. 11. Batka allowed just 19 hits in 34.1 innings in GLIAC play as opponents hit just .161 against him.

2025 GLIAC FRESHMAN PITCHER OF THE YEAR
Sam Mommer, Parkside
In his first season with the Rangers, Mommer made the most of it, earning the title of GLIAC Freshman Pitcher of the Year. He became the second Ranger in as many years to earn the award. Mommer quickly entered ace conversations after a complete-game shutout against Southwest Baptist in just the second start of his career. In all, he tossed 59.1 innings on the mound with an incredible strikeout-to-walk ratio. Mommer punched out 59 batters while walking just 10 all season. The highlight of his freshman campaign came in a seven-inning masterclass against nationally ranked Grand Valley State, where he led the Rangers to a signature ranked victory. He allowed just three hits, didn’t walk a batter, and struck out six.
