Nemunaitis Earns CSC First Team Academic All-America
| 2026 CSC ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA® BASEBALL TEAM |
GREENWOOD, IN - On Tuesday, June 23, the College Sports Communicators (CSC) named 33 student-athletes to the 2026 Division III Academic All-America Baseball Team. Wittenberg senior third baseman Alex Numunaitis (Perrysburg, OH / Ottawa Hills) earned first-team honors, becoming the first Tiger baseball player to earn the award in 35 years and the first Wittenberg athlete to earn first-team recognition in any sport since Karen Wildemann of Wittenberg Women's Volleyball in 2018.
Nemunaitis boasts a stellar 3.96 GPA as a biochemistry and molecular biology major.
In the 2026 season, Nemunaitis was named first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) and earned recognition as both a D3baseball.com and American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) first-team All-Region VII honoree, as well as an All-American in both. He led the team in batting average, going .451 at the dish, while driving in 56 runs and collecting a team-best 132 total bases.
Nemunaitis was one of five Tigers who previously earned CSC Academic All-District baseball honors this season. At that time, Nemunaitis was selected as an Academic All-America finalist and advanced to a competitive national ballot that was decided by votes cast by CSC members.
Nemunaitis is the first student-athlete representing Wittenberg Baseball to earn Academic All-America since Jerry Cicolani and Jeff Baller in 1991 and the first to be first-team baseball Academic All-America since Allan Beebe in 1977. Nemunaitis is the 55th Tiger student-athlete to earn Academic All-America honors since the inception of the program in 1952.
