LA PLUME, Pa.- Keystone College baseball standout Andy Rivas (Bronx, N.Y./Academy for Language and Technology) added more accolades to his impressive 2025 season as he received All-America team honors by D3baseball.com and ABCA/Rawlings, announced by both organizations this week.

Rivas was tabbed second team catcher from D3baseball.com and third team from ABCA/Rawlings.

Rivas dominated from the plate all season, helping his Keystone squad earn their second-straight United East title and 20th-straight conference title. The catcher finished the year with a batting average of .441, the 14th-best in all of Division III. His slugging percentage bettered that as he posted the 10th-best in the country at .838. That translated into 62 RBI (14th most in Division III) and 13 dingers (most in the UEC). One of his best performances of the season came in the NCAA Championship as his 2-for-4 with four RBI helped carve out a win against Penn State Behrend.

Rivas earned plenty of accolades for his 2025 output, including D3baseball Region IV Player of the Year, First Team All-Region on both D3baseball and ABCA, First Team All-Conference and a one-time United East Player of the Week. He was also the conference tournament's most valuable player.
