Former Virginia All-American third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, a current member of the Washington Nationals, made a $1 million commitment to the Virginia Athletics Foundation to support the Cavalier baseball program, the school announced on Wedneday. 

Zimmerman’s contribution will help fund the Davenport Field expansion project, which will begin once all of the funds have been raised. The Virginia athletics department is currently evaluating an expansion of Davenport Field that would replace bleacher seating down the right-field line with permanent chairback seats, add suites and field-level club seats, create offices for the baseball coaching staff and add additional player development areas underneath the new grandstand.
