Natural State Baseball is pleased to announce its 2019 All-Arkansas Collegiate Team and Awards.

The University of Arkansas was the 2019 Team of the Year. The Razorbacks went 46-20 this year and reached the College World Series for the second consecutive year and the tenth time overall. After a 20-10 conference season, the Razorbacks earned a #5 national seed. They went 3-0 in the Fayetteville regional and 2-1 in the Fayetteville Super Regional.

Sean McSheffery is the 2019 coach of the year. In his first season as head coach at Hendrix College, McSheffery led the warriors to 30 wins, improving on just 12 wins the season before. The 30 wins are the most all-time in a season at Hendrix and the Warriors won their first ever SAA regular season championship, going 15-6 in conference.

The University of Arkansas’ Trevor Ezell is the 2019 Player of the Year and the winner of the Natural Award, given to the best player originally from the state of Arkansas. The graduate transfer from Southeastern Missouri State and originally from Bryant, Arkansas, hit .329 for the Razorbacks and scored 72 runs in 66 games. He had 10 home runs, 25 doubles, 49 RBI and was 19-20 in stolen base attempts. The first baseman made just three errors on the season.

Isaiah Campbell is the 2019 Pitcher of the Year. The redshirt junior was 12-1 on the season, with a 2.13 ERA in 18 starts. He had 125 strikeouts in 118.1 innings and just 22 walks. Campbell was drafted 76th overall by the Seattle Mariners.

The Freshman of the Year is Alan West of Lyon College. West, an outfielder for the Scots, hit .418 this season with 17 doubles and 3 home runs. He drove in 43 runs and was 11-11 in stolen base attempts.
