GREENVILLE, N.C. – East Carolina pitcher Jake Kuchmaner has been named one of 21 male student-athlete recipients for the 2021 Spring NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship, the organization announced Friday. With his selection, Kuchmaner will receive a one-time non-renewable scholarship of $10,000 for use in an accredited graduate program.
"This is a tremendous honor for Jake, who has worked tirelessly in the classroom to earn his degree," East Carolina Head Baseball Coach Cliff Godwin said. "When I think of characteristics for what a student-athlete should be, Jake is what I envision. He has been a leader for us on the field, in the classroom and in the community since the first day he stepped on campus in the fall of 2017.
