Hays Post
WICHITA - The Hays Larks Hunter Rossen has been added to the NBC World Series All-America Team.
Rossen collected 12 hits, two of the home runs, two triples and four doubles in the Larks run to the title game.
NBC World Series director Kevin Jenks says Rossen's original omission was an oversight.
"We overlooked the accomplishments of Hunter Rosson of the Hays Larks during the 2022 NBC World Series. He was a dynamic defensive weapon at second base and in right field, but his offensive numbers were more impressive."
Hunter Rosson has been added as an All-American utility player. He joins teammates Brady Rose and Leo Jiminian who are also on the All-America team.
