Sacred Heart University

Jake Babuschak '24 joins the Sacred Heart University baseball's team's coaching staff as an Assistant Coach beginning with the 2025 season, after wrapping up a decorated career on the mound in 2024 (bio).

The team's ace in each of his last two seasons in red and white, Babuschak earned All-Northeast Conference Second Team honors in both 2023 and 2024, and led the Pioneers to their first ever NEC regular-season title as a team captain in 2024. He finished his career fourth in program history in strikeouts (225), fifth in innings pitched (292.2), tied for seventh in wins (21). Babuschak became just the fifth pitcher in program annals to record both 200 career strikeouts and 20 career wins.

For his career, Babuschak made 59 appearances on the mound for the Pioneers, including 45 starts. He authored three complete games, including a pair of shutouts during his senior season in 2024. Over 292.2 innings in an era which has seen offense explode across college baseball, Babuschak held opponents to a .269 batting average and posted a 5.10 ERA to go with a 21-17 record.

Originally from Jobstown, N.J., Babuschak is a 2024 graduate of Sacred Heart.
