Senior ADM baseball players Colin Gavin and Jake Sloss were named to the 29th Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association Academic All-State Second Team, head coach Jason Book announced Wednesday.
A panel of coaches selected all senior players who demonstrate “outstanding academic, moral and athletic characteristics,” per the association’s release. The first team consists of the top 24 players as nominated by their coaches, and the second team is thus comprised of the next 22 players who were nominated.
Sloss manned center field for the Tigers, hit .266/.337/.351 with a team best eight steals. He was also tied for the team lead with 17 runs scored.
Gavin, a left fielder and part-time designated hitter, lead ADM in batting average (.292), on-base percentage (.382) and RBI (17).
