SPARTANBURG, S.C. – VMI's Zac Morris and Tyler Kaltreider were honored Tuesday as the Southern Conference announced the 2022 baseball all-conference teams and individual honors which were voted on by the league's eight head coaches and the SoCon Sports Media Association (SCSMA).

Morris earned second-team all-conference honors at second base by the league's media members. The red-shirt sophomore from Suffolk, Va. heated up at the plate in conference action, starting in 20 of 21 games. He hit .408 with five doubles and six home runs for a .711 slugging percentage. He drew 10 walks to help push his on base percentage to .477 and he had team highs of 15 runs and 18 RBI.

Kalteider, from Warrenton, Va., earned a spot on the coaches' all-freshman team. The right-hander started once in each of the seven SoCon series, posting a 3-2 record with a 5.50 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 34 innings. He was a part of one combined shutout.

UNCG second baseman Hogan Windish and right-handed pitcher Alex Hoppe were tabbed the player of the year and pitcher of the year, respectively, by the coaches, while Wofford catcher Lawson Hill and Hoppe were selected as the player of the year and pitcher of the year by the media. Wofford head coach Todd Interdonato was named coach of the year by both the coaches and the SCSMA after the Terriers clinched the 2022 regular-season crown to repeat as conference champions for the first time in program history, becoming the first SoCon school to win consecutive regular-season titles since Mercer won three straight from 2015-17.

ETSU outfielder Tommy Barth rounded out the individual awards as he earned consensus freshman of the year honors. Each of the three athletes also earned first-team all-conference honors from both the coaches and media.
