Then on Sunday, April 6, he threw seven no hitting innings striking out 10 batters to lead the Jets to a 1-0 win over Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Baragar walked five batters in 12 innings with a 2-0 record for the week.

"Caleb has worked hard from where he started at in his first year as a Jet," said Rick Smith, Jets head coach. "He has improved and gotten stronger each and every outing this year. I am so proud of Caleb's efforts, not only as a player but a true student athlete. We look at Caleb to carry us to big heights this year within the conference."
