Missouri Southern junior pitcher Zach Parish has been named to his second All-American team as the lefty has been named an honorable mention selection by the Conference Commissioners Association (CCA).
Parish, the MIAA Pitcher of the Year, was recently tabbed as the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Central Region Pitcher of the Year, as well. He was a first-team All-MIAA selection, while also being a first-team All-Region selection by the CCA, the ABCA and the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association. Parish was named an All-American selection yesterday by the NCBWA, as well.
Parish led the MIAA in strikeouts with 136, games started with 16 and wins with nine. He ranked second in strikeouts per nine innings, third in hits allowed, fourth in WHIP, and fifth in ERA.
This year Parish finished 9-2 with a 2.85 ERA and his 136 strikeouts are a school record. He threw 101.0 innings in 16 starts with one complete game and two shutouts, while holding batters to a .199 average.
He ranks fourth nationally in strikeouts and third in games started, while helping the Lions set the school record for season strikeouts by the pitching staff with 558 k's of opposing hitters this season, finishing just five away from tying the MIAA single-season record.
