Jared Herzog Named Second Team All-NACC

The Rockford University baseball team had two players honored by the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference on Thursday morning when it released its 2022 postseason awards. Senior outfielder Neil Freeman was voted First Team All-NACC and starting pitcher Jared Herzog was voted Second Team All-NACC by the conference's thirteen head coaches.

Starting pitcher Jared Herzog was selected Second Team All-NACC. This was the second consecutive season that Herzog received postseason recognition from the conference, after being voted the NACC South Division Freshman of the Year in 2021. Herzog did an outstanding job this year in his first full season as Rockford's ace. He led the NACC in strikeouts (87), finished second in starts (10), third in strikeouts per nine innings (12.77), sixth in innings pitched (61.1) and tenth in earned run average (3.52) among pitchers who threw at least 50 innings. Additionally, he is currently ranked twenty-sixth in the country in strikeouts and thirty-first in the nation in strikeouts per nine innings. Herzog was also the NACC Pitcher of the Week earlier in the year and led the Regents with three wins and one complete game.
