Zach Berg and Ed Scott of Fort Hays State Baseball were named to the College Sports Communicators All-District Team for 2023, announced on Tuesday. College Sports Communicators (CSC) is the new name for College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), changed prior to the start of the 2022-23 academic year. This award honors a combination of academic and athletic accomplishments of the individuals selected.

Berg completed his degree in Health and Human Performance (Sport and Exercise Therapy), graduating with a 3.73 GPA. He made 14 appearances on the mound as a senior, including nine starts and one complete game. The Parker, Colo. native struck out a career-high 40 batters this season, including seven in one start against Missouri Southern. He finished his Tiger career with 37 appearances, 160.1 innings pitched and 111 strikeouts over four seasons at FHSU.

Scott completed his studies with a GPA of 3.90 while double-majoring in Technology Studies (Engineering Design) and Management. He was one of two players in the lineup to start all 50 games for the Tigers, with the senior patrolling right field in each contest this season. Wrapping up his third season at Fort Hays State, Scott led the Tigers with an on-base percentage of .474. He also led the squad in runs (54), doubles (16), walks (35), hit-by-pitches (10) and stolen bases (11) while adding nine home runs and three triples. He ranks in the top 10 in the MIAA in several categories, including on-base percentage, runs, doubles, triples and walks. An MIAA honorable mention pick, the Manhattan, Kan. native tallied five outfield assists on the year and totaled 95 putouts.

As All-District selections, both will now be considered for Academic All-America honors voted on by Sports Information/Athletic Communication professionals nationwide in NCAA Division II.
