Sy Named Sun Belt Conference Baseball Player of the Year
ULM senior Jeremy Sy was named the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Tuesday during the 2012 Sun Belt Conference Baseball Championship Family Night at Bowling Green Ballpark.
Sy became the seventh player in program history to earn postseason conference player of the year honors, and the first since the Warhawks joined the Sun Belt prior to the 2007 season.
A native of Mount Zion, Ill., Sy led all Sun Belt players with a .388 batting average in conference play, and tied Middle Tennessee's Justin Guidry for the most hits (47) and UALR's Cameron Bentley for the most doubles (11) in Sun Belt action. The 6-1 shortstop paced the league in runs scored (34), total bases (73), walks (24), slugging percentage (.603), on-base percentage (.493) and assists (102) in 30 conference starts.
Sy also joined Dexter Fontenot (2008), Ben Soignier (2008 and 2009) and fellow senior Joey Rapp (2011) as the fifth ULM all-conference first team selection in the school's Sun Belt era.
Arkansas State's Jacob Lee was named the conference Pitcher of the Year, and Middle Tennessee's Johnathan Frebis was tabbed as the Freshman of the Year. Tommy Raffo from Arkansas State received the Ron Maestri Coach of the Year award.
Rapp and junior Randy Zeigler were two of the 14 players named to the All-Sun Belt second team. The last time three or more Warhawks received all-conference honors prior to this season was 2009 (Soignier-first team, Boomer Blanchard and Jon Prevost-second team).
Rapp started all 55 games during the regular season and batted .324 with a team-high 16 doubles, nine home runs and 48 RBIs. He ranked fifth in the Sun Belt with 116 total bases and a .545 slugging percentage.
A three-time Sun Belt Pitcher of the Week recipient in 2012, Zeigler's 97.2 innings and three complete games were the most among conference pitchers, and his 97 strikeouts were one behind UALR's Chance Cleveland for the regular season lead. Zeigler's .220 batting average against was the lowest league-wide over his conference-high 15 starts.
