The MAAC awards never seem to fall far from the happenings at Manhattan College. Despite falling short of spot in the MAAC Tournament, the Manhattan Baseball team placed two players on the All-MAAC First Team, another pair on the All-MAAC Second Team, and a final duo on the All-MAAC Rookie Team.
- Sophomore Outfielder/Infielder Chase Swain and redshirt sophomore Outfielder/Infielder Daniel Perez each received first team nods after helping anchor the middle of the Jaspers order. Swain led Manhattan and finished third in the MAAC with a .392 batting average.Â
- Perez recorded the most hits of any Jaspers with 61 base knocks, and had the second best batting average among Manhattan players with a .328 mark. Perez finished top three on the team in five major offensive categories (BA., runs, hits, walks, OB%) and Swain cracked the top three in nine categories (BA., OPS., hits, doubles, triples, RBIs, total bases, slugging percentage, OB%).Â
