CANYON, Texas – West Texas A&M picked up eight honors highlighted by Adam Becker being named the 2022 Lone Star Conference Baseball Player of the Year on Wednesday night during the annual postseason awards banquet held on the campus of Angelo State University.
 
Becker was joined on the All-LSC First Team by Ryan Johnson while Kennedy Badgett, Will Fuenning, Nick Marshall and Eddy Savoie picked up Second Team honors. Jack Eagan and Eric Ortiz claimed Third Team accolades while Savoie was also named to the All-Defensive Team (second base) along with Johnson to the All-Academic Team.
 
Becker becomes the fourth Buff in program history to be named the LSC Player of the Year to join Luis Amaro (2018), Travis Denson (2003) and Tim Dubrule (1997). 
 
The Midland, Texas native has made an immediate impact during his first season in Maroon & White as the junior is hitting .394 with 20 doubles, two triples and 14 homeruns to drive in incredible 75 RBI for a slugging percentage of .719. The 75 RBI ties WT's single season mark with former All-American and recent Hall of Champions inductee Tim Dubrule in 1997.
 
The Buffs continue their postseason run on Thursday afternoon as they open up the double-elimination portion of the 2022 Lone Star Conference Championships against the sixth-seeded St. Edward's Hilltoppers with first pitch set for 2 p.m. at Foster Field in San Angelo, Texas.
