The top defensive players were recognized Wednesday as the Lone Star Conference Baseball All-Defensive Team Awards were announced at the championship banquet.
For the second time, the All-Defensive Team Awards were determined by a vote of LSC head coaches based on defensive performance alone for all nine positions.
LSC Champion West Texas A&M and Texas A&M-Kingsville had the most defensive standouts with three each. Tarleton State had two honorees and UT Permian Basin one.
The recipients included TAMUK catcher Christian Caudle and TSU pitcher Nathan Hickey. The infield was composed of the Buffs Luis Amaro and Tommy Williams at first base and second, respectively, Texan Elvin Alamo at shortstop, and Javelina Levi Zents at third base.
The outfield included WT’s Jimmy Cubillos, TAMUK’s Austin Ingraham and UTPB’s Dalton Drury.
Hickey and Cubillos were repeat selections.
