INDIANAPOLIS—Zachry Schneider and Holden Missey were both awarded First Team All-GLVC Honors Wednesday, the conference office announced. Charlie Kreh was the most recent First Team All-GLVC honoree back in 2018, and for the first time since 2017 the Bulldogs landed multiple players on the First Team (Peter Young and Jason Priest). In addition, the Bulldogs won the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Team Award and Jake Schneider was Truman Individual Sportsmanship winner.

Schneider had a dominant season on the mound, finishing the year with a 2.90 ERA. He was third in the GLVC in innings pitched with 80.2, fifth in ERA at 2.90, and led the conference in runners picked off with four. He won pitcher of the week the first week of the season with a complete game shutout at Christian Brothers Unviersity, and threw a second complete game at Rockhurst. He set new career highs this season with ten strikeouts against Quincy and eight innings pitched twice (UIndy and Ill.-Springfield).  

Missey led the Bulldogs in most offensive categories, including batting average (.361), home runs (13), doubles (17), runs (32), hits (61), total bases (119), slugging percentage (.704) and on base percentage (.447). He had one of the most prolific offensive games in Truman history against Lewis going 5-5 with three home runs in the series opener. He also appeared in 14 games on the mound, earning six saves with a 3-1 record.
