ST. CLOUD, Minn. – SWOSU's starting pitcher Shane Martin completed the All-Central Region trifecta on Thursday as he earned a second team all-region selection by the National College Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
 
Martin adds this honor after previously being named second team All-Central Region by both the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Daktronics. Martin anchored the Bulldogs' pitching staff during his senior season, finishing with a record of 11-2 and a 2.85 ERA. He entered the Great American Conference tournament tied for the national lead with 11 wins, earning a unanimous first team All-GAC selection. His efforts helped rank SWOSU among the best teams in the Central Region, leaving the Bulldogs in contention for their first postseason berth since joining NCAA Division II until the final week of the season. A Weatherford native and two-time GAC Pitcher of the Week this season, Martin concluded his SWOSU career with a record of 22-9.
 
Martin was one of nine players from the Great American Conference to be named to the NCBWA All-Central Region team.
