Mt. Pleasant, MI – The awards continue to roll for Keystone College baseball standout Rob Rogers (Islip, NY/Islip), who was named an ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-American on Monday as the American Baseball Coaches Association announced their national All-American and Gold Glove Teams.  The senior pitcher enjoyed a sensational season and was recently selected to the D3baseball.com All-American First Team after being named the site's Mid-Atlantic Region Pitcher of the Year.
 
Rogers, who was previously named First Team All-Region selection by both D3baseball.com and the American Baseball Coaches Association, was selected the Colonial States Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Year and closed his stellar career for the Giants by being selected to the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional All-Tournament Team after posting a pair of shutout wins including a one-hitter over eventual regional champion Kean University. 
 
The righty posted a 10-2 record in 16 starts including six complete games and two shutouts.  Rogers posted an outstanding 1.34 ERA while striking out a school record 114 batters in 101.1 innings pitched on the season.  Opponents batted just .190 against the senior, who earned CSAC Pitcher of the Week honors four times this spring and was named the D3baseball.com Pitcher of the Week on April 23rd.
 
Rogers closed out his senior year ranked among the national leaders in multiple pitching categories, highlighted by a Division III-best 114 strikeouts while also leading the nation in games started.  The right-hander's 10 wins on the season are tied for seventh in the country and his 1.34 ERA is 13th best and helped lead Keystone's pitching staff to a Division III-leading 2.07 ERA.  Rogers is also ranked in the top-30 in the country in strikeouts per nine innings (21st – 10.16), complete games (25th – 6), and hits allowed per nine innings (29th – 6.33)
 
Rogers finished his career as Keystone's all-time leader in strikeouts with 245 over the past three seasons and is also the Giants' all-time career leader with a 1.72 ERA and ranks fourth in program history with 23 wins for his career.
