Sprock Named Semifinalist for John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award

Overland Park, KS.- Junior Ryan Sprock was chosen as a semifinalist for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year award, as announced by the College Baseball Hall of Fame Tuesday. Earlier today, Sprock was announced as being a member of the All-CAA First Team as well.  
 
“This may be the most competitive semifinal list we’ve had since the award was created as there is no clear-cut favorite yet to win the award in 2025,” said Olerud Award chairman George Watson. “The next two weeks are going to be vital in determining not only who our finalists will be, but also to see whether someone puts on a late-season surge to rise to the top.”
 
Earlier this season, Sprock earned the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Week award for his performances against both #4 North Carolina and Towson. The junior got it done from both sides of the ball as he collected his first save of the season on the mound against Towson and finished his week 7-for-14 (.500) at the plate with two home runs, six runs scored and four RBI.
 
On the mound, Sprock has been the top arm out of the Phoenix bullpen. Sprock has a team-low ERA of 1.69 and a team low WHIP of 0.81. The junior has made 13 relief appearances and been a part of three Elon shutouts. His four saves lead the club and his strikeouts to walk ratio of 3:1 is also tops on the Phoenix.
 
In the batter’s box, Sprock has been the top power hitter in the Phoenix lineup. He leads the club in doubles, home runs, Rbis and total bases. Sprock is also top 10 in the CAA in all previous categories mentioned apart from doubles. He has set career bests in batting average, hits, doubles, home runs, RBIs and total bases this season.
 
Sprock and the Phoenix will match up against #3 Campbell in the first round of the CAA Championships tomorrow. First pitch against the Camels will be at 4 PM.
