Tyler Jandron Voted ABCA/Rawlings Midwest Pitcher of the Year - David Vinsky Named All-Region

2018 ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Teams

MIDLAND, MICH. – The Northwood University baseball team placed a pair of athletes on the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings All-Midwest Region teams Wednesday (May 23).

Senior Tyler Jandron was named the Midwest Region Pitcher of the Year as well as earning First Team All-Region honors. Sophomore outfielder David Vinsky was named First Team All-Region as well.

The teams are voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. II All-America Committee.

This is the second consecutive season Jandron has earned Midwest Pitcher of the Year honors. He finished the regular season leading the conference in ERA at 1.93 – the second-best ERA in the league was 3.63. Jandron ended the year with a 2.44 ERA, ranking in the top three in the conference in wins (eight), complete games (four) and strikeouts (92). Despite being at Northwood for just two years, Jandron is the all-time winningest pitcher in school history, having gone 21-4 with a 2.41 ERA in his time at NU. Jandron is the first player in GLIAC history to win Pitcher of the Year two consecutive years. Jandron also has earned Midwest Region Pitcher of the Year honors from the National College Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA).

Vinsky turned in his second consecutive big season at the plate for the Timberwolves. He batted .405 average with eight home runs and 52 RBIs. Vinsky ended the year with 90 hits, 17 more than any other player in the GLIAC. Over the first two years of his career, Vinsky has 199 hits and 50 doubles as well as a .428 batting average. This is the second consecutive year that Vinsky has earned First Team All-Region honors. He also earned First Team All-Region from the NCBWA and DSCCA this season.

Northwood (38-16) won both the GLIAC and the GLIAC Tournament Championship for the second straight season this year.
