Summit League regular season champion Oral Roberts led the way as it placed 11 selections on the baseball all-league teams. The awards were announced at the annual banquet and were voted on by the league’s head coaches.
Omaha’s Clayton Taylor was named the league’s Player of the Year and teammate Tyler Fox captured Pitcher of the Year honors. Oral Roberts’ Brent Williams earned the Newcomer of the Year award while his head coach Ryan Folmar garned the Coach of the Year accolade.
Designated hitter Jesse Munsterman was the lone Jackrabbit to earn first-team honors. A senior from St. Peter, Minnesota, Munsterman ranked second on the team for batting with a .304 average, along with three home runs and 33 runs batted in.
