Three Pitt State Baseball Players Earn ABCA All‑America Honors

Brewer, Nottlemann, and Webb recognized as the Gorillas close a record‑breaking season

The American Baseball Coaches Association has released its 2026 Division II All‑America squads, and Pittsburg State University celebrates three players who earned spots on the prestigious list. The selections underscore the program’s rising national prominence and the individual excellence displayed throughout a dominant campaign.

Dagen Brewer, the team’s power‑hitting cornerstone, secured a first‑team berth after posting a .442 average, 87 runs scored, 24 doubles, 25 home runs and a Division II single‑season record 107 RBIs. His triple‑crown performance atop the MIAA, combined with nods from the NCBWA and D2CCA, also earned him the conference’s Player of the Year award.

Infielder Grant Nottlemann earned second‑team honors following a .376 batting average, 58 runs, 13 doubles, five homers and 55 RBIs. His defensive mastery was recognized with an MIAA Gold Glove and a first‑team All‑MIAA selection, highlighting his two‑way impact.

Utility player Isaac Webb rounded out the trio’s representation on the third team, slashing .379/.464/.689 while scoring 66 runs, driving in 81, stealing 41 bases and delivering 12 homers. His all‑around contributions helped shape a lineup that ranked among the nation’s most potent offenses.

A season defined by records and milestones

Beyond individual accolades, the Gorillas compiled a school‑record 45‑11 overall mark, capturing both the MIAA Regular Season and Tournament titles. The team advanced to the NCAA Division II Central Region Final before falling to Augustana University, a run that cemented the program’s status as a consistent contender.

The upcoming ABCA/Rawlings awards schedule will reveal the national Gold Glove recipients on June 17, the All‑Defensive teams on June 18, and the Pitcher and Position Player of the Year on June 22. These announcements promise to further spotlight the standout performances that defined the Gorillas’ historic year.
