LONG BEACH, Calif. — Long Beach State outfielder Kyle Ashworth has been named to the Collegiate Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District team, the organization announced on June 3.

Ashworth, a graduate student, earned the honor for the first time after leading the Dirtbags in several offensive categories and being named Second Team All-Big West.

He tied for the team lead in triples (2) and was second in RBI (35).

The Santa Ana, Calif., native hit both of his home runs in a Feb. 23 game against Seattle U, driving in seven runs. He finished the year with 20 multi-hit games, including seven three-hit performances, and nine multi-RBI games.

Ashworth was also perfect defensively, finishing the season without an error in 117 chances. In Big West play, he led the conference in on-base percentage (.507) and ranked among the top five in batting average (.393), walks (22), hits (46), and doubles (10).

Off the field, Ashworth earned a bachelor’s degree in consumer affairs in 2024 and is pursuing a single subject teaching credential in social science.
