APSU's Alex Robles

He was named to the first team as both a utility player and starting pitcher.

Robles started at all four infield positions during the 2015 season, served as the team’s designated hitter for the bulk of the year and was the Govs’ No. 1 starting pitcher during the entirety of OVC play.

In 50 games, Robles made five starts at first base, two at second base, one at shortstop and four at third base. He also compiled 37 starts at designated hitter and made 11 starts on the mound.

Offensively, Robles batted .328 with 12 doubles, three home runs and 39 runs batted in. He compiled a .406 on-base percentage thanks to 21 walks and six times hit by pitch. In addition, Robles started all 30 OVC contests, finishing the league campaign with a .312 batting average, three home runs and 22 RBI.

On the mound, the Govs No. 1 starter finished with a 6-3 record and 3.31 earned-run average – finishing third in victories and second in ERA. He ended the year with 84.1 innings pitched – equaling his freshman year output – and had 65 strikeouts while allowing just 17 walks. Robles also made five relief appearances during the year, finishing with three saves.

Robles, who was a second-team All-OVC pick and OVC Rookie of the Year last season, posted a 6-3 record and 3.61 ERA in 11 OVC appearances and amassed three complete game outings in league action. He compiled a 4-2 record against the six teams that qualified for the OVC Baseball Championship, finishing with a 4.01 ERA in those six starts.

The Olerud Award is named for the former Washington State University standout who achieved success both as a first baseman and left-handed pitcher during the late 1980s and who was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. The award will be presented as part of the Hall of Fame’s Night of Champions celebration, June 28th-29th in Lubbock.
