The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference unveiled its 2026 Baseball All-Conference Team on Thursday, recognizing 30 first- and second-team selections along with the league’s major award winners, as voted on by the conference’s head coaches.
Edward Waters outfielder Daniel Donaldson-Fountain was named SIAC Player of the Year, while Spring Hill senior Garrett Lott earned Starting Pitcher of the Year honors. Albany State freshman Dereck Foster was selected as Relief Pitcher of the Year, and Edward Waters sophomore Bobby Torres claimed Utility Player of the Year. Morehouse freshman Tripp Braswell was named Freshman of the Year, while Morehouse head coach Antonio Grissom was voted Coach of the Year.
Albany State led the First Team with five selections, highlighted by starting pitcher Samuel Crew, catcher Tyler Turner, first baseman Ty Grover, third baseman Luke Addison and Foster, the league’s top relief pitcher. Spring Hill and Edward Waters each placed three players on the First Team, with Spring Hill represented by Lott, Ray Ochoa and shortstop Jatnier Torres, while Edward Waters landed Tyler Pfirrmann, Donaldson-Fountain and Bobby Torres.
Morehouse placed two players on the First Team, with senior outfielder Elijah James and junior designated hitter Robert Robinson Jr. earning honors. Savannah State second baseman Johan Sandoval and Kentucky State outfielder Ryan Campbell rounded out the First Team.
The Second Team featured strong representation from Morehouse and Spring Hill, each with three selections. Morehouse freshman pitcher Cameron Simmons, Robinson at catcher and senior shortstop Elijah Pinckney were named to the Second Team. Spring Hill added pitcher Wyatt Brown, third baseman Jaylen Jones and designated hitter Jordan Black.
Benedict also had three Second Team selections with pitcher Lefrederick Wooten, first baseman Joshua Medina and outfielder Jaquez Akins. Savannah State placed pitcher Austin McCormack and relief pitcher Adonis Perez on the Second Team, while Clark Atlanta second baseman Jaylon Johnson, Edward Waters outfielders Angelo Prieto and Jordan Smith, and Miles utility player Ajani Lyons completed the list.
Morehouse also added one of the conference’s top academic honors, as Pinckney was named the SIAC’s Elite 16 Honoree, an award presented to the student-athlete who displays excellence in athletics and the classroom. The honor capped a strong awards showing for the Maroon Tigers, who earned Freshman of the Year, Coach of the Year, the Elite 16 award and five all-conference placements across four players.
The 2026 All-SIAC Baseball Team reflected a balanced year across the conference, with Albany State, Spring Hill, Edward Waters and Morehouse leading the way in major honors and all-conference representation. The announcement also set the stage for a postseason in which several of the league’s top performers are expected to play central roles in the SIAC championship race.
