CBC’s Ben Madison was selected as honorable mention by Natural State Baseball.

Madison was one of the top pitchers in the American Midwest Conference this past season, posting a 6-4 record with a 3.71 ERA and an AMC leading 129 strikeouts. Madison is earning his third award after having been named AMC Newcomer Pitcher of the Year and a first-team NCCAA All-American.
