He gave up just four earned runs on 13 hits with 51 strikeouts and only 11 walks in 33 1/3 innings. McReynolds was a First Team All-MIAA, D2CCA All-Central Region, ABCA/Rawlings Division II All-Central Region and NCBWA All-Central Region selection.
A redshirt sophomore from Rogers, Ark., Tobol hit .351 with 71 hits, 54 runs, 13 doubles, four triples, 12 homers, a team-best 64 RBI, a .634 slugging percentage, 22 walks and 14 stolen bases in 56 games and 54 starts this season.

The CCA All-America and All-Region baseball teams, which are selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC) from schools playing Division II baseball, were first established in 2007. This is the eighth year in which the program is solely sponsored by the Division II Conference Commissioners Association.
The Division II Conference Commissioners Association encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
