The awards continue to roll in for Seton Hill redshirt junior
Ian Korn. On Wednesday afternoon, Korn picked up another national award from the NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA).
Korn was named the Ron Lenz Pitcher of the Year by the D2CCA. It is the second national pitcher of the year award that Korn has won this season. Ian was also a first team D2CCA All American selection.
The CCA All-America and All-Region baseball teams, which are selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC) from schools playing Division II baseball, were first established in 2007. This is the ninth year in which the program is solely sponsored by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association.
Korn, a native of York, Pa., finished 11-2 on the season in helping the Griffins advance to the NCAA Atlantic Super Regional. In 14 starts, Korn compiled a 1.81 ERA in 84 1/3 innings with 83 strikeouts and 17 walks. He closed the season with four complete games and two shutouts, while opponents hit just .197 against him. In the latest NCAA statistics (May 26), Korn ranks second in ERA, fourth in WHIP (0.91), ninth in victories, 12th in hits allowed per nine innings (6.4) and 29th in strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.88). Korn also leads the PSAC in wins, ERA and opponent batting average.
Senior third baseman Brevin McCool from Lubbock Christian was named the Ron Lenz Player of the Year.
