Stan State’s Baseball Student-Athlete Patrick Sweeney Named 2024-25 Stan State Outstanding Student Achiever for the Mathematics
TURLOCK, Calif.--- Stan State baseball pitcher Patrick Sweeney has been named the 2024-2025 Stan State Outstanding Student Achiever for the Mathematics. Sweeney will be honored at a special ceremony in May, recognizing the university's most outstanding students.
"Since beginning my college journey at Stanislaus State, the support and guidance of my exceptional professors have motivated me to strive for academic excellence," said Sweeney.
Sweeney is a four-year letter-winner for the Warriors. During his career, he has struck out 49 batters in 53 appearances. He has three victories with one save. The senior pitcher has been named to the Department of Athletics' Honor Roll every semester since enrolled at Stan State. He is a three-time member of the CCAA All-Academic Team, three-time member of the D2ADA Academic Achievement Team, two-time member of the CCAA Spring Academic Honor Roll, and two-time member of the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team.
"The supportive culture within the Mathematics Department has greatly contributed to my academic success," added Sweeney. "I've had the privilege of learning from outstanding professors, including Dr. Bice, Dr. DeSilva, Dr. Coughlin, Dr. Jue, Dr. Pro, and Dr. Martin. Their flexibility with office hours, detailed in-class notes, and accommodating course schedules has enabled me to fully engage with and excel in the curriculum. These experiences have not only strengthened my foundation in mathematics but have also equipped me with the critical thinking and analytical skills essential for a successful career in the tech industry."
The Warriors will return to the diamond this Thursday-Saturday, April 17-19, in Hayward, Calif., for a four-game series at Cal State East Bay. They will return home Friday-Sunday, April 25-27, for the final time this regular season when they host Cal State Monterey Bay in a four-game series.
