Three Wildcats earn Black College Nines Elite awards

Wiley College baseball players Jhan Carlos Javier and Isaac Burciaga were recognized for their outstanding seasons by being named to the Black College Nines Elite Second Team. Sports Information Director Andrew Glover earned Black College Nines Sports Information Director of the Year.

The awards were presented during the Black College Nines Elites Award banquet on Tuesday. Black College Nines is a website dedicated to telling the historical story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities Baseball Teams. Selections were made based on statistics, mid-season reports – including research provided by Black College nines, coaching staffs and sports information directors.

Javier, who is also an All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference First Team designated hitter and outfielder, ranked in the top 10 in the GCAC in hits (46), runs (39), doubles (8), home runs (5), batting average (.371) and slugging percentage (.669). He led the conference with seven triples and 41 runs batted in.

Burciaga, who is an All-GCAC First Team starting pitcher, greatly improved in his sophomore season. He lead the conference with seven wins and ranked in the top five in earned run average (5.24) and strikeouts (57). Burciaga was one of 10 pitchers to earn a save.

This is the second time Glover has been recognized for his coverage of the baseball team. He earned SID of the Year in 2020. He provided previews, series notes and recaps on nearly every series. Glover was instrumental in getting his athletes recognized, as six earned GCAC Player of the Week awards and seven earned All-Conference.

The Wildcats open the 2023 Black College World Series presented by Tyson Foods against Paine College at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Alabama.
