DALLAS, Texas – Indiana State's Connor Fenlong was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writer's Association (NCBWA) All-American team on Wednesday afternoon. The redshirt senior was selected to the organization's Third Team marking his second All-American nod in the 2023 postseason.
 
Fenlong was previously named to the Collegiate Baseball News All-American team earlier this spring garnering a Second Team nod. His All-American recognition with the NCBWA marks the second time Fenlong was honored by the organization this season after being named the Dick Howser Trophy Pitcher of the Month for May.
 
Fenlong adds to his growing collection of postseason accolades in 2023. The Missouri Valley Pitcher of the Year was named to the ABCA/Rawlings All-Mideast Region First Team as announced by the organization Tuesday afternoon.
 
The Gouverneur, N.Y. native wrapped up one of the most dominant seasons in Indiana State history this past weekend finishing the year with an 11-3 overall record with a 3.45 ERA over 114.2 innings. Fenlong leads the NCAA with four complete game shutouts in 2023 and the redshirt senior went a span of 30.0 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run over the month of May.
 
In his first full season as a starting pitcher, Fenlong led the Missouri Valley in innings pitched (114.2) and wins (11), while sitting second in ERA (3.45), second in opponent batting average (.222), and sixth in strikeouts (76). He went at least six innings in 11 of his final 12 starts of the season including at least eight innings on five separate occasions.
 
He highlighted his year with complete game shutouts against Southern Illinois, Bradley, Murray State, and in the MVC Tournament against Belmont becoming the first pitcher in the MVC with at least four complete game shutouts since 1983.
 
Twenty-one different conferences and 18 conference championship squads represented among the 2023 honorees on the NCBWA Division I All-American teams. The three All-America squads are also made up of 12 conference players or co-players of the year, 14 conference pitchers of the year and two conference relief pitchers of the year.
