DALLAS – Tyler Sager, a senior pitcher on the Northwood University baseball team, has been named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II National Pitcher of the Week.
The announcement was made Thursday (April 17).
Sager is the first pitcher in school history to earn a national Pitcher of the Week award from the NCBWA, joining Max Bain, who won the award April 10, 2019.
