BRIDGEWATER, N.J. – FDU Baseball has earned a pair of weekly honors following a standout performance by freshman Johnathan Gomez, who was recognized by the Northeast Conference on Tuesday afternoon. Gomez was named both the NEC Co-Player of the Week and NEC Rookie of the Week, marking a significant milestone in his debut season.
 
The red-hot freshman went 7-for-13 at the plate, highlighted by a perfect 4-for-4 performance in the series finale against Mercyhurst. Over the week, Gomez launched three home runs, added a double, scored six runs, and drove in five RBIs, fueling the Knights' offensive surge. He currently leads the team with a .331 batting average, alongside an impressive .563 slugging percentage and a .467 on-base percentage—a testament to his balanced offensive presence.
 
On the defensive side, Gomez made his impact known with nine putouts and 11 assists, including turning a crucial double play, showcasing his versatility and reliability in the field.
