ST. LOUIS -- Headlined by Newcomer of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors, a total of seven Indiana State baseball players were selected for All-Missouri Valley Conference honors Tuesday by the league's head coaches.
Right-hander Collin Liberatore was named the League's Newcomer of the Year while third baseman Jake Means was tabbed Defensive Player of the Year. It marks the first time a Sycamores has earned either award since the 2014 season when Brad Lombard and Tyler Wampler earned the honors.
Indiana State's three selections for First-Team All-MVC honors were second baseman Jarrod Watkins, starting pitcher Collin Liberatore and reliever Tyler Grauer.
