Amherst College’s Joe Vladeck concluded an outstanding baseball career this past spring, winning the NESCAC Pitcher of the Year award for the second straight season. He led the Jeffs to a 22-9-1 overall record and an 8-3-1 mark in conference play this season, taking home First-Team New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) All-New England honors and First-Team All-NESCAC honors for the second straight season.

A political science and interdisciplinary studies double major, Vladeck was also named Second-Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) and was a two-time NESCAC Spring All-Academic honoree. Vladeck was lights out in his senior spring, posting a flawless 7-0 mark on the hill and recording the 11th lowest earned run average (ERA) in the country (1.55). His win total and ERA were both tops in the NESCAC along with a .191 opposing batting average. He ranked fifth with 49 strikeouts and fourth with 64.0 innings of work.
