Three Pittsburg State baseball players have been named to the America Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings NCAA Division II All-America team, it was announced Friday.

Senior outfielder Dagen Brewer made the first team, senior catcher Grant Nottlemann is on the second team, and senior right fielder Isaac Webb made the third team.

Brewer, the MIAA player of the year, hit .442 with 87 runs scored, 24 doubles, 25 home runs and 107 runs batted in. Brewer, from Topeka, won the MIAA triple crown; his 25 homers are one more than the school record he set last season, and his 107 RBI are the most in D2 history.

Earlier he was named an All-American and D2 player of the year by both the National College Baseball Writers of America and the D2 Conference Commissioners Association.

Nottlemann, from Lincoln, Neb., hit .376 with 58 runs scored, 13 doubles five home runs and 55 RBI. He was first-team all-MIAA and made the league’s Gold Glove team with a 1.000 fielding percentage – zero errors in 242 chances. He also threw out 10 would-be base stealers.

Webb, from Collinsville, Okla., batted .379 with 66 runs scored, 18 doubles, five triples, 12 homers and 81 RBI. He also stole 41 bases.

The Gorillas, coached by Brock Buckingham, finished 45-11 and won the MIAA regular-season and postseason tournament championships. It was the first regular-season title in program history and second tournament crown.
