Diaz was named the regional's shortstop on the team as the junior led ISU with a .389 batting average while extending his hitting streak to 32 consecutive games. The Toa Alta, Puerto Rico native homered against both Illinois and Western Michigan, while adding three multi-hit games over the weekend series including in elimination games against WMU, Illinois, and Kentucky.

Listi was named as one of the regional's top outfielders as the redshirt senior put together one of his best performances of the 2024 season over the weekend.

Cutts showcased the form that saw him earn MVC Pitcher of the Year honors as the Greenup, Ill. native posted the first 9.0-inning complete game of his collegiate career in Sunday's elimination game against Illinois that propelled Indiana State to the finals. Cutts allowed eight hits and two runs while striking out five in a dominant performance and took advantage of three double plays to keep Illinois off the bases in the win. He also survived a 20-minute rain delay in the bottom of the ninth inning and came back to retire the Illini to complete the contest.
