The College of Wooster's Eddie Reese was selected a second-team All-American by both the American Baseball Coaches Association and D3baseball.com, while Keenan White gained honorable mention from the popular website, as the two organizations announced their respective All-America Teams in conjunction with the NCAA Div. III Baseball Championship taking place at Appleton, Wis.

Reese, the team's offensive leader and second baseman, is Wooster's first ABCA All-American since the 2010 season. Hitting in the No. 3 hole in 44 of the Fighting Scots' 45 games, the junior standout batted .370 with 22 doubles, four triples, eight home runs, and 54 RBI. Reese ranks among the top-50 in NCAA Div. III in six major categories – 32nd in total runs scored (50), seventh in doubles, 19th in homers, 13th in RBI, 25th in slugging percentage (.682), and 27th in walks (30).

A career .362 hitter, Reese will enter his senior season with a chance to reach several notable milestones, as he is 63 hits shy of becoming the 12th in school history with 200 for a career, just nine doubles from cracking the top-10 list with 44, and eight home runs from being the 16th in the 25-homer club.

White, the ace of the pitching staff as a senior, piled up 12 wins (12-2), a sub-3.00 ERA (2.90), and averaged more than a strikeout per inning with 85 over 80.2. In the most recent national statistics, White is tied for second in victories, 15th in total strikeouts, 31st in strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.07) as he issued just 14 bases on balls, and 37th in strikeouts per nine innings (9.48). Also of note, the southpaw tossed three complete games, highlighted by a four-hit shutout with 14 strikeouts against Oberlin College (April 20), during 12 starts and entered three times as a reliever.

White's career spanned from being a No. 3 starter as a sophomore to an injury-shortened junior year to his breakout senior campaign. Overall, he went 17-7 with a 3.86 ERA and 151 strikeouts over 174.2 innings pitched.

As a team, Wooster produced a 33-12 record and won the North Coast Athletic Conference championship, earning an invite to the NCAA Div. III Baseball Championship in the process.
