EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State baseball's Mitch Jebb was named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings Midwest All-Region Second Team list, announced Wednesday.

A sophomore shortstop from Saginaw, Michigan, Jebb led MSU and ranked tied for eighth in the B1G with a .356 average, also topping the team and ranking fifth in the B1G with 78 hits.

In the field, the Spartan shortstop was third in the B1G with 29 fielding double plays, and sixth in assists with 138. Jebb was named Big Ten Player of the Week on March 16, his first career B1G weekly honor, for his performance during MSU's four games during the week of March 7-13 in Greenville, South Carolina at Fluor Field, highlighted by belting two HR in the same game, including a leadoff HR and then a two-run walk-off HR to cap the Spartan comeback in a 10-8 Victory for MSU over Cincinnati.
