DALLAS, Texas -- The honors continue to come in for Centenary’s Alex Miller as he was named the Division III National Rookie of the Month by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (NCBWA). Complete Release
The February honors cover all games played February 1-25. The Div III selection committee will resume the traditional weekly selections and weekly submission criteria next week.
Miller, who was named SCAC Hitter-of-the-Week on Tuesday, batted .462 (12-for-26) with nine runs, eight RBI, five walks, three homers, and two doubles in February. Miller logged four multi-hit games over the seven he played in, headlined by a 3-for-5 day with two doubles, a run scored, and RBI in a 13-3 win at Occidental College (California). Miller went 5-for-13 with four runs, four RBI, and two homers in the Gents’ three-game sweep of Occidental.
