WACO, Texas - Baylor senior right-handed pitcher Willie Kempf was one of 20 student-athletes across the nation selected to the inaugural Primetime Performer Weekly Honor Roll, presented by CollegeBaseball360.com.
A native of Castroville, Texas, Kempf was honored for his performance in the Bears' win over 22nd-ranked Georgia on Sunday. Making his first start of the season, Kempf held the Bulldogs to just an unearned run in 6.0 innings on his way to earning the victory.
Kempf allowed one hit in each of his six innings of work, but the only two Georgia baserunners to advance past second base did so after advancing from first to third on errant pickoff attempts. The win over Georgia gave the Bears a 3-1 record in QTI Apparel's Opening Weekend Classic.
CB360 names student-athletes to the Honor Roll based on "primetime" criteria. Players are considered for selection on strength of opponents, clutch performances and team leadership.
Baylor returns to action this weekend when the Bears host Western Kentucky, Texas State and Texas A&M for the fifth-annual QTI Baylor Classic.
