Vinsky Named To 2017 Jewish Sports Review College Baseball All-America Team

MIDLAND, MICH. – David Vinsky, a freshman outfielder on the Northwood University baseball team, has been named to the 2017 Jewish Sports Review College Baseball All-America team.

The Jewish Sports Review is a bi-monthly magazine covering Jewish athletes in collegiate and professional sports.

Vinsky is the only player from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to earn the honor and is the first player in Northwood Baseball history to be named an All-American by JSR. 

Vinsky became one of the top offensive performers in the country in his first season at Northwood. He finished the regular season with a .444 batting average to go along with a .654 slugging percentage. Vinsky set single season records for Northwood in hits, extra base hits, doubles, total bases, and runs batted in while being named the Freshman of the Year in the GLIAC. The freshman for Northwood finished the incredible season batting .449 with 109 total hits and was named a finalist for the Tino Martinez DII Player of the Year award and also led the entire country in hits and doubles.

Vinsky's efforts helped lead Northwood to the most successful season in program history. A year that included the school's first ever GLIAC regular season championship, GLIAC tournament title, a school record for wins, a top ten national ranking, and a #1 seed in the Midwest Region.
