2022 D3baseball.com All-Region 6 team
The 2022 D3baseball.com All-Region teams have been announced. NC Wesleyan University Baseball had four players named to these All-Region Teams. They include junior 2B Davie Morgan making the All-Region First Team while USA South Pitcher of the Year Derrick Carter was named to the Second Team. Sophomore 3B Jackson Hobbs and junior reliever Chandler Padgett were also named to the All-Region Third Team.
The 2022 season marks the tenth year that D3baseball.com has named All-Region teams, with more than 1,000 players nominated. The ballot was then made available to D3baseball.com staff and contributors from which three teams in each region were determined.
For each of the ten regions, there is a regional player of the year (a batter), a pitcher of the year, a rookie of the year (must be a freshman) and a coach of the year.
We thank all the Sports Information Directors at the various institutions that nominated players. All SIDs and coaches were contacted as the season wound down with information on how to get their players considered.
Player of the Year: Joe Ruth, Sr., 3B, LaGrange
Pitcher of the Year: Jimmy Adkins, Sr., SP, Salisbury
Rookie of the Year: Jacob Brown, RP, LaGrange
