CENTERVILLE, MASS. - Senior Zach Prendergast (Horsham, Pa.) was named to the 2017 All-ECAC First Team.
Â
Named to the All-BIG EAST First Team, Prendergast was dominant over his last seven starts having allowed only eight runs over his last 39 innings pitched. The right-hander threw a complete-game shutout with seven strikeouts and only one walk against Creighton on May 6. The following start, Prendergast needed just 82 pitches to throw a no-hitter at Villanova. He struck out a career-high 10 batters without a single walk, and only pitched to one batter over the minimum. For his no-hitter efforts, he was named NCBWA National Player of the Week, BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week and one of Collegiate Baseball's National Players of the Week.Â
Â
Prendergast finished the season tied for second in the BIG EAST with seven wins and third with 91.0 innings pitched. He also ranked amongst the conference top-10 in starts, earned run average and fewest walks. Prendergast was twice named BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week and was twice selected to the conference's Weekly Honor Roll.
Â
Prendergast finished his collegiate career tied for fourth with 40 career starts at Seton Hall. He finished just outside the Seton Hall career top-10 with 17 career victories, 249.0 innings pitched and 193 strikeouts. All four of Prendergast's seasons featured a sub-4.00 earned run average, culminating with a career-best 3.07 ERA as a senior.
