The 2022 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. II All-Region Teams and Regional Players of the Year were announced in all eight regions on Wednesday morning. The teams were voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process was led by the ABCA NCAA Div. II All-America Committee. West Virginia State’s graduate second baseman Andrew Stone was named on the NCAA Div. II Atlantic All-Region Second Team.
Stone’s accolades following the 2022 season now include All-Region Second Team honors from both the ABCA and D2CCA along with All-MEC First Team distinction. In his final season as a Yellow Jacket, he led WVSU in on-base plus slugging (1.111), runs (49), doubles (14), triples (4), slugging percentage (.565), bases on balls (45) and stolen bases (17). His .546 on-base percentage was not only the best on the team but also the best mark in the Mountain East Conference. Furthermore, Stone had the lowest number of strikeouts (20) among State’s starters and did not ground into a double play all season long.
Stone played in 200 total games on the West Virginia State University baseball team. He finished his collegiate career with a .326 batting average, .437 on-base percentage and .550 slugging percentage. He scored 185 runs and batted in another 115 runs to account for 300 total runs in the past five years. He totaled 355 bases including 55 doubles, 18 triples and 18 homeruns while stealing 64 bases. Stone made 309 total putouts and 204 assists in the field for the Yellow Jackets. He only committed 11 errors on 524 total chances to record a .979 career fielding percentage.
