The D3baseball.com and the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Baseball Teams were both announced on Monday, May 27, and Buena Vista senior Evan Taylor was selected to the Second Team for each.
Taylor, who was the 2022 Regional Rookie of the Year, is now a three-time D3baseball.com All-Region selection (2022 First Team, 2023 Second Team) and a 4x ABC/Rawlings selection (2022 and 2024, Second Team, 2023 Third Team). He finished his final campaign this year by leading the region in doubles (26) and doubles per game (0.58) and ranked eighth in runs (58). He hit .371 overall which was second in the conference and recorded 66 hits to break the BVU all-time record with 244.
A native of Redfield, Taylor was one of four different players for the Beavers to land all-region honors this season.
Buena Vista concluded the year at 33-12 overall and ended the year at the NCAA DIII Regional Tournament from May 16-18 in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
