@MSUDenverBSB: ABCA/Rawlings Names Three Roadrunners to All-Region Teams
DENVER — The American Baseball Coaches Association announced its 2025 Division II All-South Central region baseball teams Wednesday morning and listed three MSU Denver Roadrunners between the two All-Region squads.
Andrew Graham earned first-team All-Region honors, while Easton Amundson and Jesse Velders both earned a spot on the All-Region second team.
Graham was unstoppable at the plate for the Roadrunners, batting his way into the top 5 in batting average in the conference at a .446 clip, which also led MSU Denver. He hit 14 home runs, with 78 RBIs, scored 71 times, and had the most doubles in the conference with 27. He ranked top 10 in the RMAC for AVG (.446), slugging (.832), OBP (.537), OPS (1.369), runs (71), hits (82), RBIs (78), doubles (27), and stolen bases (12).
The senior transfer, Amundson, made an immediate impact for the Roadrunners in his lone season at MSUD, belting a program record 34 home runs. He also led the nation in home runs and was second in RBIs with 93. He was one home run shy of tying the all-time Division II record in an individual season. He slashed a line of .329/.426/.918 and his slugging percentage ranks number one all-time for a Roadrunner in an individual season.
Velders finished the regular season with a line of .359/.495/.667 in 44 games played. Despite battling through injury during the season, he had 9 home runs, 36 RBIs, and 47 runs. His .495 on-base percentage ranked third on the team only behind Graham and Yuran. He earned RMAC Player of the Week honors in the first week of April for his four-homer performance in the series against Adams State.
