Matt Brosky has been named to the ABCA/Rawlings East All-Region Second Team for his performance during the 2022 season.
The 2022 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. I All-Region Teams were announced in all eight regions on Wednesday. The teams are voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. I All-America Committee.
This marks the second consecutive season that YSU has had a player earn All-Region honors.
Collin Floyd and
Dominick Bucko were each named to the ABCA/Rawlings East All-Region First Team in 2021.
Brosky, who was named Horizon League Pitcher of the Year and First-Team All-Horizon League, finished the 2022 season with a 6-7 record, a 2.65 ERA, 102 strikeouts, five complete games and a .231 opponent batting average in 98.2 innings pitched over 15 starts. The Strongsville, Ohio, native became the fifth player in school history to earn conference Pitcher-of-the-Year honors. He also became just the second YSU pitcher since Phil Klein in 2009 to be named First-Team All-Horizon League.
Brosky led the Horizon League in ERA and innings pitched while tying for the league lead in strikeouts. He tied for the league lead with six victories and he ranked second in opponent batting average. The junior also paced the league and ranked second in the nation in complete games. Brosky's 102 strikeouts rank as the fourth most in a season in program history. He became just the fourth player in school history to record at least 100 strikeouts in a season. Brosky's 98.2 innings pitched rank as the fifth most in a season in program history, and his 2.65 ERA is the ninth-lowest single-season mark in school history. He matched the single-season school record of 15 starts, becoming just the second Penguin since 2013 to start 15 games in a campaign.
Brosky was named to the Horizon League All-Tournament Team after matching his career high with 10 strikeouts in a complete game shutout in YSU's 6-0 win over Purdue Fort Wayne on May 25. He became the first Penguin to be named to the Horizon League All-Tournament Team since 2014. Brosky became the first Penguin to pitch a shutout in the Horizon League Baseball Championship, and he joined Jeremy Quinlan (2014) and Corey Ohalek (2002) as the only YSU pitchers to toss a complete game in the tournament. Brosky also tied Phil Klein's 10-strikeout effort in 2011 for the most strikeouts in a game by a Penguin in the Horizon League's tournament.
