VU’s Jake Stuteville to play at Lindsey Wilson College

VINCENNES, Ind. – Vincennes University baseball pitcher Jake Stuteville (Rockport, Ind.) announced his commitment to play next season at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Ky.

"I chose Lindsey Wilson because of the connection I made with the coaching staff and also the feeling I had when I took my visit was great," Stuteville said. "It felt like home."

Stuteville closed out his Trailblazer career this past season with a 3-2 record in five starts for the Blue and Gold, including striking out an average of 10.53 batters per nine innings on the mound this past season.

Stuteville had a career record of 7-6 on the mound for the Blazers in 30 total appearances and 15 starts for VU.

Stuteville pitched 67 and two-thirds innings for VU and closed out his career with 64 strikeouts.

Stuteville's best game from this past season came when he threw six shutout innings against Ancilla College in February, allowing only four hits and setting a new career-high with 12 strikeouts.

Stuteville is the fifth VU baseball player to announce where they will be playing next season, following Will Egger (Missouri Baptist), Gavin Craggs (U. of Fort Lauderdale), Colin Long (Indiana University-Southeast) and Colton Evans (Carson-Newman University).

Together, these five helped guide the Trailblazers to a 25-33 record last season and earned a trip to the Mid-West Athletic Conference baseball tournament for the fourth consecutive year.

"It's hard to choose just one memory from my time at Vincennes, I can't really pick anything other than creating the friendships and brotherhoods with the guys that will last a lifetime," Stuteville added. "That has to be the best thing from VU."

"Vincennes University helped me academically by challenging me in the classroom with a heavy workload that is expected at a four-year school," Stuteville said. "Athletically, VU helped me by providing good facilities and a great athletic trainer. If I had a problem, Caleb would get it fixed and get me ready to go."

Stuteville is joining a Blue Raiders squad that finished last season with a 17-27 record overall and a 9-18 record in Mid-South Conference play.

The Vincennes University Athletic Department would like to congratulate Jake Stuteville on his commitment to Lindsey Wilson College and wishes him good luck next season.
