Eastern New Mexico’s Keenan Dodd headlined the Lone Star Conference Baseball All-Academic Team, as the league’s annual postseason awards were announced prior to the start of this week’s LSC Baseball Championship.

      Dodd was tabbed Academic Player of the Year to lead a group of nine recognized on the All-Academic Team. 

      The senior pitcher from Albuquerque, New Mexico, is 6-3 in 10 appearances for the Greyhounds.  In 48.2 innings, he has 44 strikeouts.

      Dodd was joined by teammates Enrique Perez and Michael Holliday; West Texas A&M’s Christian Loya; Cameron’s Gaige Vines; UT Permian Basin’s Mike Fernandez; Texas A&M-Kingsville’s Preston Plovanich and Pablo Hernandez; and Tarleton State’s Dylan Lemons.

      Dodd and Plovanich were repeat selections.

      To be eligible for LSC academic honors, student-athletes must carry at least a 3.30 grade point average and have reached sophomore status both athletically and academically. The Academic Player of Year award and All-Academic Team are selected from the list of academically qualified players, with the league's sports information directors voting on the basis of both academic and athletic achievement.
