ST. PAUL, Minn. - Fort Hays State baseball pitcher Ty Riley picked up another All-Region recognition Tuesday after being named a first team All-Central Region pick by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA).
Riley turned in a stellar senior season, ranking second in Division II with a school-record 115 strikeouts. The righty posted an ERA of 3.11 and a record of 9-1 across 16 outings (15 starts). The MIAA co-Pitcher of the Year posted an opposing batting average of .188, second-best in the MIAA.
The Bentonville, Ark. native ranked 12th in Division II in hits allowed per nine innings (6.22), while his 11.17 strikeouts per nine innings ranked 22nd in the country and his nine wins were second-most in the MIAA and 25th-most in DII.
Riley struck out 16 batters in a game against Colorado-Colorado Springs, second-most in a game by a DII pitcher this season. He racked up seven quality starts and tossed an MIAA-best four complete games, including one nine-inning shutout.
Riley is the first Tiger to earn All-Region status since 2015 (Kevin Czarnecki) and is the first starting pitcher to earn All-Region accolades since 2006 (Bobby Lewton).
