BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced the 2022 Academic All-District baseball teams on Thursday, May 12. Bowling Green junior catcher Kyle Gurney earned First-Team Academic All-District, the first CoSIDA honor of his career.
Gurney, the 2021 MAC Freshman of the Year, has appeared in all 46 games for the Falcons. He has a team-best .344 batting average, with nine home runs and 35 RBI. His slugging percentage of .577 and on-base percentage of .429 are the most among Falcons with more than 20 at-bats. Behind the dish, he has a .983 fielding percentage with only seven passed balls.
Gurney is a native of Belleville, Mich. He is majoring in Business Analytics and Intelligence and maintains a 3.96 GPA. Gurney was honored in District 5, a district that includes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. 11 student-athletes were named First Team All-District, with Gurney being one of three representatives from the Mid-American Conference. First‐team Academic All‐District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All‐America® ballot. First‐, second‐ and third‐team Academic All‐America® honorees will be announced in June.
