Cal State San Bernardino’s Jacob Mejia has been voted the CCAA Baseball Player of the Week for the week of April 15-21. 

Mejia put together an incredible week, which included two grand slams. Playing in the final three games of CSUSB’s series against Cal State East Bay, Mejia went 8-for-12 (.667) with four doubles, two home runs, 11 RBI, and four runs scored. He finished the week by reaching base at least twice in every game and posting a 1.500 slugging percentage. 

After going 2-for-3 in Saturday’s opener, Mejia caught fire as he closed out the series. He doubled in a run in the first inning before hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the second to extend the Coyotes’ lead to 9-1. 

The junior infielder added another grand slam in Sunday’s 15-0 win. He went 4-of-5, with two doubles, to help CSUSB earn its largest margin of victory this season (15-0).

Mejia is now hitting .313 with a team-leading 12 doubles and is third on the team with 26 RBI.
