NASHVILLE, Tenn. --Â Belmont Baseball earned its first weekly honors of the 2026 season from the Missouri Valley Conference for the week of March 2-8. Cavan McMeans was named Newcomer of the Week, while McKale Stevenson earned Freshman of the Week honors.
Right-handed pitcher Stevenson made appearances in both the midweek matchup against Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders baseball and during Belmont's weekend series against Wofford Terriers baseball. Stevenson threw 1.1 innings against Middle Tennessee and added two innings of relief for Owen Cavey in Game 2 against Wofford. Across those appearances, Stevenson recorded three strikeouts while allowing just two hits. His outing against Wofford proved instrumental in keeping the Bruins within reach as Belmont mounted a comeback to secure the win in the final two innings.
Shortstop McMeans started and appeared in all four games for the Bruins last week. In 14 at-bats, McMeans posted a .429 batting average with six hits, five RBIs, one stolen base, and three runs scored, including a solo home run in Game 3 against Wofford. He provided a consistent presence at the plate for Belmont, finishing the week with a .500 on-base percentage and regularly creating scoring opportunities for the Bruins. Defensively, McMeans recorded three putouts and six assists while committing just one error.
