STERLING, KAN. – The NAIA announced Monday the 2015 Baseball All-America Teams, selected by the NAIA-Baseball Coaches Association All-America Committee. Sterling had three Warriors named to this season’s list including: Aaron Stubblefield (JR/Kansas City, MO), Jake Morgan (JR/Salt Lake City, UT), and Jordan Espino (JR/Buena Park, CA).
Aaron Stubblefield finished the season hitting .436; sixth best in the country, with four home runs, 59 RBI’s and 51 runs scored en route to an unanimous selection to the All-KCAC First Team and being named KCAC Player of the Year.
Jake Morgan was second on the team in hitting with a .404 average, slugging our 16 doubles, eight triples, and four home runs. Morgan’s excellent season at the plate went unnoticed by the KCAC as Morgan would be named All-KCAC First Team.
Jordan Espino provided the power this season for the Warriors, slugging .631 and leading the team in homeruns (11), and RBI’s (69) for an All-KCAC First team selection in the outfield.
