SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - - For the fifth year in a row and sixth out of the last seven seasons, Wilmington University baseball head coach Brian August has coached at least one player to All-American status as senior David Hatt earned National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Honorable Mention All-American.

The 2013 NCBWA East Region Pitcher of the Year, Hatt (Toronto, Canada) finished his Wildcat career by tossing three scoreless innings on two days rest in starting the NCAA Division II East Region championship game against Franklin Pierce.

Hatt was named First Team in all four post-season organizations as he was named First Team NCBWA, ABCA, Daktronics, and Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, including the NCBWA East Region and CACC Pitcher of the Year awards. He finished 7-1 with a 2.08 earned run average in 16 starts, throwing 91 innings. He threw a complete game shutout against Felician, striking out a season high nine batters in the 1-0 victory. He struck out 56 batters while only allowing 18 walks with batters only hitting .212 against the righty.

After transferring to Wilmington from Burlington County College, Hatt tossed 167.2 innings over two seasons making 31 appearances and 26 starts. In 15 decisions, Hatt went 12-3, tossing three complete games and was a part of five shutouts through his two seasons. Including a 1.76 earned run average as a junior, Hatt finishes his Wilmington career with a 1.93 ERA while only allowing batters to hit .215 off him.  The right-handed pitcher struck out 101 batters in his career while only walking 34 hitters.

The Wildcats have now had an All-American in five straight seasons, dating back to Cody Holliday in 2009. Joe Harris earned All-American status as a pitcher in 2010 and 2011, along with Matt Umba and Mike Godwin in 2011. Jordan Oncay continued the streak in 2012 before Hatt made it five years in a row this season. Jason Rust started the Wilmington All-American wall with an outstanding season in 2007.

Hatt was the only member of the CACC to be named an NCBWA All-American in 2013.
