Second-Team All-ACC catcher Jacob Ference announced that he will be using his final year of eligibility to return to UVA baseball in 2025.
Virginia baseball got some great news for its prospects for the 2025 season on Saturday as All-ACC catcher Jacob Ference"Committing to the University of Virginia has proven to be one of the best decisions of my life," Ference said in the post. "The 2024 season offered me the opportunity to reach heights that I had never dreamed of on a baseball diamond - both individually and collectively with my teammates.
Though he was initially brought in as a second option at catcher behind expected starter Ethan Anderson, Ference proved to be indispensable both as a catcher and as a batter and wound up starting 39 games at catcher and 14 more as UVA's designated hitter, appearing in 54 of the team's 63 total games. Ference ranked third on the team in batting average , tied for fifth in hits , seventh in RBI , tied for second in home runs , and sixth in runs scored .
There are still many questions to be answered as to what the Virginia baseball roster will look like in 2025, especially with the MLB Draft just a few weeks away, but Brian O'Connor and the Cavaliers can at the very least rely on stability, production, and leadership behind the plate as Jacob Ference confirms that he will be using his final year of eligibility to return to UVA next season.Managing Editor and Publisher, CavaliersNow Email: mattnewton@virginia.
