All-conference team here....the guys i'd like to take on my team if i could
I quoted conf. stats, but I'm taking into account full-season worth when choosing these guys
8 IF, 2 C, 8 P, 6 OF
IF---
Andrew Bennett HU- Jaw-dropping power numbers for one of the better hitters in the league this year
Chris Terrazas STO- Defensive wall with legitimate run producing abilities
Josh Maus STO- Though he didn't play much, the 16 games he did start in conference offered up a league-leading .568 avg. and 20 RBIs
Mike DesLauriers GAC- Proved to be a tough out and a defensive star for Gustavus this year
Adam Wedwick MAC- Offered great power numbers in the 1-hole this year (6 HR) and good speed (4-5 SBs)
Nick Winecke SMU- Good on-base percentage and good run production on an otherwise offensively starved team
Jay Kasner SJ- One of the most feared hitters in the league; quick bat and aggressive mentality allowed him to hit .373 in conf. with 8 HRs
Pat Siering GAC- Great offensive output this year including 5 HRs and .370+ BA
C-
Matthew Pexa UST- hitting .468 on the year and heating up as of late; easily the best offensive catch in the league
Craig Henry AUG- solid freshman who contributed greatly to an Augsburg offense that was down this year
P-
Riley Bosch UST- hard-throwing pitcher with nasty deuce; again anchors one of the best staffs in the country
Todd Mathison STO- Injury limited innings, but when he was pitching, he was dominant; allowing only 3 ER in 2 years of conf. ball (WOW!)
TJ Nelson SJ- Started off the year rough but came back to a 5-0 conf. record that included 2.78 ERA and .237 Opp. BA
Lonnie Robinson UST- Flamethrower who finally hit his stride this year; should be a dominant force in the MIAC next year if he can master his offspeed
Kyle Foster HU- Finally reached his potential this year, leading the MIAC in IP and K's
Erik Olson UST- super-soph again produces another stellar year; should be one of the better pitchers in MIAC history
James Murrey MAC- hard-throwing super-fresh who anchored a weak Macalester staff; very bright future for him in this league if he can get support someway
Dan Leslie UST- accurate, hard-throwing righty who provided a spark at the end of UST's dominant rotation, a very underrated pitcher
OF-
Kirby Carr BU- 5- tool star who led the league in HR's; dominant force who should be able to excel at the next level
Tony Konicek GAC- One of the greatest hitters in MIAC history; capped off an extraordinary career with yet again another season of amazing production
Andrew Schmiesing STO- Sort of overshadowed by Carr and Konicek; he's undoubtedly one of the best pure hitters in the league; will easily be the best player in the league next year
Chris Bullis UST- unsuspecting hitter with aggressiveness and a lightning-fast bat; should be one of the best players next year
Tyler Kaus GAC- great production for GAC this year with 2 HR and 22 RBIS with a .400+ avg.
Carson Jones STO- continues his impressive freshman campaign into the playoffs with a .390+ avg. 2HRs and 16 RBIs; the best hitter in his class IMO
