GREENSBORO, N.C. – The 2024 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. II All-Region teams and Regional Players of the Year have been announced in all eight regions.
Jackson Syring, for a third time this award season, found himself as a Second Team All-Central Region selection.
Syring had previously been named all-region from the NCBWA and D2CCA and completes the trifecta for region recognition with his latest nod from the ABCA. He becomes the eighth Bulldog to earn All-Region honors from the ABCA in SWOSU's NCAA era. He led the team in batting average, hits, triples, RBIs, slugging percentage, hit by pitches, and on-base percentage. Syring's .394 batting average and 19 doubles both ranked second in the GAC, while his 57 RBIs finished as the fifth most in the league.
The ABCA All-America team was first recognized in 1949 and now includes nine divisions: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division, and high school. ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove teams were first recognized in 2007.
