In conjunction with the finals of the NCAA Div. III Baseball Championship, held at Grand Chute, Wis., the American Baseball Coaches Association and D3baseball.com All-America Teams were announced, with runner-up College of Wooster being well represented as four players received the national recognition. Senior pitcher Mark Miller (Convoy, Ohio / Crestview) was selected a first-team All-American by the ABCA and senior outfielder Sean Karpen (Venetia, Pa. / Peters Twp.) and sophomore pitcher Justin McDowell (Willard, Ohio / Willard) both received second-team accolades, while McDowell and junior designated hitter Matt Groezinger (Columbus, Ohio / Upper Arlington) were first-team All-Americans, according to D3baseball.com.

Miller, also the North Coast Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year and a first-team all-Mideast Region pick, finished 2009 with an 11-2 record, five saves, and a 2.51 ERA. Serving as part of the starting rotation and as the staff's closer, the right-hander and his two-seam fastball appeared in 24 games and compiled 96.2 innings – the fifth-most in school history. Miller was the first Wooster pitcher to ever record at least five saves and 11 wins during the same season, and he also struck out 72 along the way while the opposition to a .244 batting average. During the Scots' NCAA Tournament run, Miller went 3-1 with one save and a 1.54 ERA over 35.0 innings.

Karpen, who was previously tabbed the NCAC Player of the Year and first-team all-region, put together one of the best offensive seasons in team history. The speedy centerfielder batted leadoff, hitting safely in 52 of 54 games en route to a school-record 97 hits, three more than Travis Snyder in 1997 (94). Overall, he accumulated a .435 batting average, 18 doubles, nine home runs, 49 RBI, and 23 stolen bases. The table setter for Wooster's offense, Karpen scored 77 runs – the second-most in team history – and he rose to the occasion against top-flight competition, hitting .444 (20-for-45) with 15 runs, six doubles, two triples, two homers, and 10 RBI while also walking 11 times during 11 NCAA tourney games.

McDowell, who earlier nabbed the ABCA's Pitcher-of-the-Year award for the Mideast Region, developed into the team's ace after only being expected to serve as the No. 3 or No. 4 starter. With injuries to their top-two starters, the Scots leaned heavily on the young right-hander, who responded by going 13-3 with two saves, and a 2.38 ERA while eating up a school-record 113.2 innings pitched. The 13 wins equaled another team mark and his 94 strikeouts tied for the fourth-most in a season. Over five appearances in the NCAA's, McDowell posted three wins (3-1), one save, and a 2.27 ERA during 35.2 innings.

Groezinger, who ended up spending more time at first base (25 starts) than designated hitter (24 starts), served as Wooster's top power threat. The clean-up hitter clubbed 12 home runs as well as 19 doubles, all part of a .369 batting average and 73 RBI, the latter ranking as the fourth-most in the school's record book. Groezinger also totaled up 60 runs scored and was walked a team-high 32 times, including seven intentional, which helped add up to a .471 on-base percentage. He produced nine hits, nine walks, and nine RBI during the NCAA Tournament, highlighted by a two-run homer in the national championship game.

The group spearheaded one of Wooster's best seasons in school history, as the Scots won 43 games (43-11), the NCAC championship, and the Mideast regional of the NCAA Div. III Baseball Championship. The Scots also reached the national championship round for the second time in program history, with 1997 being the other, before dropping a pair of heartbreakers to the University of St. Thomas (Minn.), 6-4 and 3-2 in 12 innings.
