RYAN GARCIA, SP
UCLA
Garcia missed the first few
weeks of the season with
injury, but he made up for
lost time once he got back
on the mound. He went
10-0, 1.36 and had recorded
a 109-to-25 strikeout-to-
walk ratio in 86.1 innings for
a UCLA pitching staff that
led the country in ERA by a
wide margin. He struck out a
career-best 12.4 batters per
nine innings.

ALEK MANOAH, SP
WEST VIRGINIA
After two seasons marked
by as much inconsistency
as brilliance, Manoah came
into his own as one of the
most dominant arms in
college baseball as a junior.
He finished the season 9-4,
2.08 with 144 strikeouts in
108.1 innings and played as
big a role as anyone in West
Virginia hosting a regional
for the first time in program
history.

ETHAN SMALL, SP
MISSISSIPPI STATE
Small served as one of
the most quietly consistent
starting pitchers in 2018,
but there has been nothing
quiet about his performance
in 2019. The lefty went
9-2, 1.88 and a 160-to-27
strikeout-to-walk ratio in 96
innings. His season strike-
out total ranked second in
program history, behind the
174 recorded by Eric DuBose
in 1996.

KODY HOESE, 3B
TULANE
After hitting
.291/.368/.435 with five
home runs as a sophomore,
Hoese exploded as a junior,
hitting .391/.486/.779 with
20 doubles, 23 home runs
and 61 RBIs. Those 23 hom-
ers tied for the second best
single-season total in Tulane
history and placed him in
the top five in the country—
resulting in a first-round
selection by the Dodgers.

NOAH SONG, SP
NAVY
In his senior season, Song
went 11-1, 1.44 with 161
strikeouts in 94 innings
to put a cap on a career
he spent rewriting Navy’s
record books. His 32 wins,
54 starts, 334.1 innings and
428 strikeouts are all pro-
gram records. Song’s 15.4
strikeouts per nine innings
was good for the highest
rate in the country among
Division I pitchers.

KYLE HILL, RP
BAYLOR
A four-year workhorse in
the Baylor bullpen, Hill took
things to the next level in
2019, when he threw 29.1
innings without allowing
a single run—earned or
otherwise. He also held
opponents to a .109 aver-
age, struck out 35, and
surrendered just three extra-
base hits, all doubles. Over
his career, Hill posted a 2.95
ERA and whiffed 167 batters.

JACOB WALLACE, RP
CONNECTICUT
After being used spar-
ingly as a freshman and
showing flashes of brilliance
as a sophomore, Wallace put
it all together as a junior for
UConn. In 42 innings spread
over 30 appearances, he
sported a 0.64 ERA, a 68-to-
10 strikeout-to-walk ratio
and 16 saves. He held bat-
ters to just a .140 average
over the season and allowed
just five extra-base hits.
