2022 D2CCA Baseball All-America Teams
MARSHALL, Minn. – The Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association (D2CCA) announced its 2022 Baseball All-America teams Wednesday, which features five student-athletes from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Headlining the All-America rosters is Colorado Mesa’s Haydn McGeary, who was voted the 2022 D2CCA Lenz Player of the Year for the second consecutive season.
McGeary claims his second-straight D2CCA Player of the Year honor and a first-team berth after breaking the NCAA Division II career home run record, following his 35 homers on the year, which brings his career mark to 75. The junior adds to his burgeoning resume with his latest honors after leading the Mavs to a berth in the NCAA DII South Central Super Regional. He closed the book on the 2022 campaign with a .481 batting average and a 1.061 slugging percentage. McGeary made 57 starts on as many appearances during Colorado Mesa’s 60-game season. Of his 103 hits this year, 53 went for extra bases and helped drive in 79 RBI for the Mavericks.
CMU’s Spencer Bramwell and Colorado Christian’s Wyatt Crenshaw earn spots on the second-team roster as a catcher and outfielder, respectively. Bramwell concluded the season hitting .371 with 73 runs on 85 hits for the Mavericks. He also racked up 23 home runs, 65 RBI and 171 total bases throughout the 2022 campaign. Crenshaw earns second-team accolades after setting a single-season program record in batting average (.422) and RBI (71) for the Cougars. During his 49 starts for CCU, Crenshaw collected 161 total bases and finished the year with a .861 slugging percentage.
Colorado School of Mines’ Luke Folsom and Tyler Blomster round out the RMAC All-America recipients as honorable mention honorees. Folsom was instrumental for the Orediggers this season and earns national acclaim as a utility pitcher after driving 61 RBI while putting in 27.1 innings of work on the mound. Blomster’s recognition comes on the heels of a stellar season for the Orediggers, where he finished with 62 strikeouts and a 2.43 earned-run average for a 7-2 record on the bump.
