Hall of Fame
Jason Alcott was a four-year starter on the baseball team at 1B, C, RF, and DH. He was a three-time member of the All-PAC First Team. His teams put up a combined record of 113-53-1 overall and 62-22 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference. As a freshman, he was a member of the team that traveled to Gettysburg to claim an ECAC Title with wins over Pitt-Bradford and the host Bullets.
Alcott is listed in some of the craziest box scores the Alvernia baseball team has ever produced. As a sophomore, he was batting clean up when Todd Meyer selfishly took all the RBIs for himself hitting for the home run cycle in a 36-15 win over Wilmington. As part of a run to the Regional Final in ’02, Alvernia twice posted 8-run innings in comeback wins over DeSales and Alcott was right in the middle of both of them. He batted fifth and caught the full nine innings when Alvernia claimed the ’03 PAC Title with a 19-18 win over Gwynedd-Mercy at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington.
Alcott is in the top 10 in almost every category in the record book. Top 10s in games played, games started, runs score, doubles, home runs, RBIs, total bases, slugging, walks, hit by pitch, on base percentage…the list goes on. He is third all-time in home runs with 38 and fourth in RBIs with 172.
Alcott graduated with a degree in education but first decided to pursue a professional playing career. He had tryouts with the Marlins, Braves, and Padres, and ended up playing three seasons for teams in the Golden League, the Frontier League, and the Canadian-American League. After his playing career, he accepted a position at the Glen Mills School as a counselor. He is now a senior counselor with the school and also the head baseball coach.
