SEWARD, Neb. – It was only a matter of time before the GPAC leader across all power categories earned weekly recognition. On Tuesday (April 1), the league office announced senior third baseman Jaidan Quinn as the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Player of the Week. Quinn is the fourth player from Concordia University, Nebraska Baseball to earn a weekly award in 2025, joining pitchers Alex Johnson (Feb. 12), Micah Sweeton (March 4) and Braxton Greenburg (March 25).
A native of Bonner Springs, Kan., Quinn’s latest accolade comes from his efforts in the Bulldogs’ doubleheader sweep of Waldorf on March 28. Concordia swept the twin bill, winning by scores of 15-9 and 21-5. Quinn did his part by going 3-for-5 with five runs scored, three home runs and seven RBIs. He reached base in seven out of his nine plate appearances. On the season, Quinn leads all GPAC players in home runs (15), RBIs (43) and slugging percentage (.880). His 15th homer of the season pushed his career total to 88, equaling former teammate Joey Grabanski for the all-time program record.
In addition to the 88 career home runs, the All-American Quinn has tallied 248 RBIs, 247 runs and 230 hits while hitting .355 with a .519 on-base percentage and .833 slugging percentage in 203 career collegiate games. Quinn shared the 2024 GPAC Player of the Year award with Grabanski.
Up next, Quinn and the Bulldogs (22-8, 10-2 GPAC) will host Hastings for a doubleheader at 3 p.m. CT on Friday.
