Jefferson senior Tyler Fredrick received the Pitcher of the Year award. Fredrick, a right-handed Carroll University recruit whose previous all-conference awards include a first-team selection last season and a second-team award as a sophomore, tossed 60 2/3 innings with a record of 8-1 and two saves. He recorded an ERA of 1.15 and WHIP of .874, striking out 68 hitters against six walks.
