Austin Peay State University Baseball’s Craig Massoni, Tyler Rogers sweep OVC Postseason Awards

 

Austin Peay State UniversityJackson, TN – For the third time in program history Austin Peay State University’s baseball team can celebrate a sweep of the Ohio Valley Conference’s top awards. Junior first baseman Craig Massoni was named the league’s Player of the Year and senior closer Tyler Rogers was named its Pitcher of the Year at the annual OVC Baseball Awards Banquet held Tuesday night.

“I’m not sure I have a word that is good enough to describe what these two men meant to our team,” said Austin Peay head coach Gary McClure. “Having Tyler involved in 27 decisions over 42 wins is incredible. And on the other hand, Craig was a guy who hit almost .500 in league play and didn’t do it with singles – he did it with doubles and home runs.

Austin Peay State University Baseball’s Tyler Rogers One of the Best Closers in the Game

 

Austin Peay State University Governors SportsClarksville, TN - The first thing you’re likely to notice about Tyler Rogers is his throwing motion. The Govs closer comes set, then dips and fires, submarine-style, to the plate.

The lanky righty combines his style – to a right-handed batter, it looks as though the ball leaves Rogers’ hand behind the batters’ back – with low-90s heat and a slider that borders on unhittable some days. It’s small wonder that he’s developed into one of the all-time greatest closers in OVC history.
