Four Earn All-OVC Honors
5/24/2016 8:30:00 PM | Baseball
Tyler Lawrence, Ramsey Scott, Adam Bauer and Jaron Robinson all received All-OVC accolades Tuesday night announced at the 2016 OVC Baseball Tournament Banquet in Jackson, Tenn. Lawrence and Scott were named First Team All-OVC while Bauer was a second team selection and Robinson was named to the All-Freshman Team.
It is the third all-conference honor for Lawrence who was named to the second team in 2015 and to the All-Freshman Team following 2014. Lawrence hit .355 (ninth in the OVC) with eight home runs, 32 extra-base hits and collected 58 RBIs while scoring 52 runs this season. Lawrence's 22 doubles on the year are a new program record and are the 12th-most in the country. Lawrence had a team-best 24 multi-hit games and 12 games with multiple RBIs. In OVC-only games, Lawrence hit .365 with 14 doubles, three homers, drove in 30 and scored 34 runs. His .493 on-base percentage in conference games was the second-highest in the league.
Scott hit .335 on the season and ranked second in the league with 63 RBIs, fifth in homers with 13 and his .612 slugging percentage ranked seventh-best in the OVC. In conference games, Scott led the league with 40 ribbies and was fourth with eight home runs. His .388 batting average was the sixth-best in the OVC. Scott ranked second on the team with 23 multi-hit and 16 multi-RBI games in 2016.
Bauer led the OVC and is second nationally with 67 runs scored and nine triples this year. The nine triples are a program record at MSU while the 67 runs are the third-most in school history. Bauer also reached base safely in the first 50 games of the season, which is a new Racer record. At the time his streak ended, it was the longest active streak in the country. Bauer finished the year hitting .341 and was second on the team with 75 hits to go along with five home runs and 40 RBIs.
Robinson hit .255 on the year and had nine extra-base hits, 17 RBIs and scored 27 runs. In conference games, Robinson hit .261 with six doubles. Robinson had nine games with two or more hits and four games with multiple RBIs in 2016 while making 45 starts at shortstop.
The four All-OVC accolades are the most for the Racers since five were selected (one first, two seconds and two all-freshman) in 2010.
