Zach Parish and Freddie Landers have ended up on their second All-Region team as the duo both picked up first-team honors today as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) announced the All-Central Region team today.
Both Parish and Landers will go on to the national ballot for All-American consideration. Parish and Landers are two of five MIAA players to earn first-team honors, joining Erik Webb and Jonathan Sprinkle of Central Missouri, as well as Caleb Sneed of Southwest Baptist. Webb was the Central Region Player of the Year.
Parish was a first-team selection and Landers was second-team when the Conference Commissioner's Association team was announced last week. The pair were both first-team All-MIAA selections.
Parish was the MIAA Pitcher of the Year and 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.
Landers led the Lions with a .349 batting average and finished second on the team with 11 home runs and fourth with 36 RBIs. He slugged a team-high .602, while also leading the team with a .494 on-base percentage. He led the MIAA in hit by pitch with a MSSU record 22 times taking one for the team. Landers ranked sixth nationally in hit by pitch, while ranking second in the MIAA in slugging, fourth in total bases, sixth in walks and runs scored, seventh in hits and eighth in average.
