2022 COLLEGE PARK REGIONAL PLAYERS TO WATCH
OF Chris Alleyne, Maryland: Maryland boasts one of the best offenses in the country and Chris Alleyne is a big reason why. The center fielder paced the Terps with 22 home runs, 23 stolen bases and 75 RBIs this season on his way to winning Big Ten Player of the Year honors. Also a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes award, Alleyne hit .346 with a 1.131 OPS as a fifth-year senior.
RHP Rhett Lowder, Wake Forest: Rhett Lowder made a case for one of the best individual pitching seasons in Wake Forest history this year, going 11-3 with a 2.61 ERA and 98 strikeouts over 15 starts. He's the first player in program history to win ACC Pitcher of the Year. Lowder's best start of the year was his final one of the regular season: He threw a complete game against NC State, allowing two runs with six strikeouts and no walks.
OF Erik Stock, UConn: The Huskies won both the Big East's regular season and tournament titles behind the play of Erik Stock, a unanimous first-team all-conference outfielder who wears down pitchers with his impressive plate discipline. He led UConn in all three slash line statistics at .375/.443/.600 as he tallied 90 hits, 21 doubles and 144 total bases (all most on the team). Stock also had as many walks (31) as he did strikeouts.
RHP Joshua Loeschorn, LIU: Breaking rival Bryant's streak of seven straight seasons winning NEC Pitcher of the Year was LIU's Joshua Loeschorn, a senior out of Butler, New Jersey, who went 11-2 with a 3.02 ERA and 102 strikeouts. He enters the tournament red-hot. Over his last five outings, including a relief appearance during the NEC tournament in which he locked down his first save of the year in extra innings, Loeschorn has a 1.08 ERA.
