ABCA Div. III All-America Release

The College of Wooster's Tyler Chumita turned in one of the top all-around single-season performances within the tradition-rich Fighting Scots' baseball program, and the American Baseball Coaches Association rewarded the junior shortstop with third-team All-American honors, as announced by the coaches' organization on Thursday morning.

Chumita had the fifth-highest single-season average in program history this spring at .465 (59-for-127) and his .560 on-base percentage is the third-highest single-season mark in the program annals. Chumita's average is the highest since All-American shortstop Greg Van Horn hit .486 (71-for-146) in 2010, while the education and mathematics major is the first Scot to reach base safely at least 56 percent of the time since All-American Jamie Lackner in 2016.

Through the end of regional action, Chumita sits in ninth-place nationally in on-base percentage, 12th in batting average, 15th with 17 hit-by-pitches, and 31st with 17 doubles. The first-team ABCA/Rawlings All-Mideast Region, second-team D3baseball.com All-Mideast Region, and All-North Coast Athletic Conference East Division selection led the NCAC in average and on-base percentage, and was in the top three in hits, runs (42), and doubles. The smooth-swinging lefty stepped up against some of the Mideast Region's top teams with a .500 (23-for-46) average with 18 RBI, 11 runs, seven doubles, a homer, and a .537 on-base percentage in 11 games against regionally-ranked teams.

Wooster's now had at least one All-American in each of the last six years the end-of-year selections have been made. Chumita's the fifth Wooster shortstop to earn All-America honors.

Wooster went 25-13 this spring.
