Former University of Evansville centerfielder Kevin Kaczmarski has officially been called up to the majors and will join the New York Mets this evening.

Kaczmarski played at the University of Evansville from 2012 through 2015 and joins the Mets after playing 24 games at the AAA level for the Las Vegas 51s.  He batted .363 in his time at AAA in 2018, recording 29 hits in 80 at-bats.  Kaczmarski posted eight RBI and 7 walks.  In 2017, he was a .274 hitter in 128 games with the Mets AA club in Binghamton – the Rumble Ponies.

“I am so proud of Kevin getting the call up to the Mets,” UE head baseball coach Wes Carroll said.  He is a great example for young players that hard work pays off.  He represents everything we are all about as a Purple Aces!”

In his time at UE, Kaczmarski made a lasting mark on the program.  As a junior in 2014, he batted .315 with 50 RBI as the Aces won the regular season Missouri Valley Conference title.  He returned for his senior season and led the NCAA with a .465 batting average.
