Youngstown State senior outfielder Kyle Fossum has been selected to the ABCA/Rawlings East All-Region First Team for his performance during the 2025 season, the American Baseball Coaches Association announced on Tuesday.

The 2025 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. I All-Region Teams were announced in all eight regions on Tuesday. 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.

Fossum becomes the first Penguin to garner first-team all-region honors since Dominick Bucko and Collin Floyd in 2021.

Fossum enjoyed one of the most prolific seasons at the plate in program history in 2025 after spending the first three years of his career at Washington. The senior batted .382 with 84 hits while setting new single-season school records for home runs (23), RBIs (62), runs scored (67), slugging percentage (.777) and total bases (171). Fossum also recorded 18 doubles, 46 walks, a .496 on-base percentage, a 1.273 OPS and nine stolen bases while starting all 57 games.

Fossum became just the second player in YSU history and the first since Tom Clayton in 2010 to be named Horizon League Player of the Year. He was also named First-Team All-Horizon League to become the first YSU outfielder to garner first-team all-league honors since Trey Bridis in 2018. Fossum batted .423 and slugged .902 with 52 hits, 14 doubles, 15 home runs and 36 RBIs over 30 games in Horizon League play. In Horizon League games only, he led all players in batting average, hits, runs scored and doubles. Fossum was twice named the Horizon League Batter of the Week during the 2025 season.
