Keegan Batka (Grand Rapids, Mich./Christian H.S./Central Michigan) was named Midwest Region Pitcher of the Year by D2CCA and NCBWA after a stellar 2025 with the Panthers. The D2CCA encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies, and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities. The National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association has a  focus on the advancement of college baseball through the efforts of writers, broadcasters, and publicists.
