Jon Weisman was a four-year baseball letterwinner (2004-07), who was a three-time All-GLIAC selection and a two-time All-Region honoree.
 
After redshirting in 2003, he led the 2004 squad with a .593 slugging percentage along with seven home runs.  He made 41 starts and earned GLIAC All-Academic honors.
 
The following year, he helped the Warriors to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history as well as a GLIAC regular-season title.  He had a team-leading nine home runs to earn Honorable Mention All-GLIAC accolades.  Weisman, who started 43 times, finished second on the squad in both slugging percentage (.597) and multiple-hit games (10), and third in batting average (.315).  A stalwart defensively, he led WSU in putouts (337) and fielding double plays (37).
 
In 2006, he was voted to the North Central All-Region Second Team as well as the All-GLIAC Second Team after leading the squad in home runs (9), RBI (40), doubles (15), slugging percentage (.580) and total bases (98).  Weisman made 51 starts and was third on the team with a .320 batting average while recording 16 multiple-hit games, including four three-hit performances.  He finished the season with a .994 fielding percentage which included three starts in the outfield.
 
He earned First Team All-GLIAC and All-Region honors (Daktronics First Team and Rawlings/ABCA Second Team) as a senior after setting career-highs in batting average (.340), home runs (11), RBI (48), total bases (100), slugging percentage (.694), walks (24) and on-base percentage (.439).
 
Weisman, who started 48 games, was honored with the squad's Most Improved Player award after totaling 13 multiple-RBI games and 12 multiple-hit contests including a stretch of four straight from March 10-12.
 
That season he homered in all four games at Hillsdale to begin a nine-game hitting streak.
 
When he graduated with his degree in management, he held eight school records (games played – 195; doubles – 47; home runs – 36; extra-base hits – 91; total bases – 354; slugging percentage - .616; fielding putouts – 1176; and fielding chances – 1232).
 
Weisman was also in the top five in another five categories (second in RBI – 141; second in fielding percentage - .986; third in at bats – 575; fourth in runs scored – 122; and fifth in hits – 183). 
 
His home run total leads the second-place mark by 11, while his extra-base hits mark is 12 more than anyone else in WSU history.
 
In addition, Weisman has three of the top seven single-season home run totals as WSU won nearly 60 percent of its GLIAC contests during the four years he started a total of 183 games.
 
The Woodhaven native was a four-time GLIAC All-Academic selection, and recorded a term GPA above a 3.0 all 10 semesters, including six semesters above a 3.5.
