The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) has named its NCAA Division I All-America first, second, and third teams for the 2022 season. Two utility players from Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs) were recognized by the organization in its annual list of the best collegiate baseball student-athletes.
Shemar Page of Grambling State was the top two-way offensive and defensive leader for the Tigers. Page was a second team NCBWA All-America selection and completed the season batting .351 with nine doubles, six triples, three home runs and 28 runs batted in. On the mound, he was 8-5 with a 2.60 earned run average and 142 strikeouts in 104.2 innings pitched.
Jordan Hamburg Coppin State earned third team All-America honors after going 6-3 with a 5.15 earned run average, striking out 87 batters in 64.2 innings pitched. At the plate during the season Hamburg batted .347 with ten doubles, two triples, eight home run, and 34 runs batted in. Hamburg was listed as a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy by the NCBWA. The award is given annually to the national college baseball player of the year.
Hamburg is the second player from the MEAC listed as a semifinalist for the award since 2021 when former North Carolina Central University baseball standout Ryan Miller was in consideration.
Both Page and Hamburg were also recognized by Black College Nines as part of its Large School Division Elite list which is awarded to the top players in HBCU baseball this past season.
