Myers Earns Third All-Conference Honors; First Academic All-District

KIRKSVILLE, Mo. – Truman State University senior Devon Myers was named for the third time in his career to the All-MIAA Baseball team. In addition, Myers was also named to the first-team Capital One Academic all-District squad and is now eligible for the Academic All-America team.

Myers (Fenton, Mo., Rockwood Summit HS) was named to the honorable mention all-MIAA team after finishing his senior season with a .283 batting average, seven doubles, a triple and a team leading four home runs and 20 runs batted in. He was second in the MIAA in pickoffs with eight, was tied for second among league catchers with 17 putouts on steal attempts and had the seventh best fielding percentage in the league at .994.

He is a three-time captain of the Bulldog Baseball team and has helped the Bulldogs  win the second most game over a four-year period with 56, three away from the four-year mark of 59 set between 1999-2002. The 33 wins over the past two seasons in the best in the program's history.

Myers finished as Truman's career hit king with 197, breaking the previous mark of 191 held by Patrick Hardin from 2002-05. He finished in the top 15 in career batting averages with a .310 mark, second in at bats with 635, second in doubles with 28, second in RBIs with 111 and in the top 10 in runs scored, triples, home runs and total bases. This is his third honorable mention all-MIAA selection.

Myers was selected for the first time to the Academic All-District team by the College Sports Information Directors of America. His 3.68 cumulative grade-point average while majoring in Exercise Science will place him on the national ballot that will be released later this month.
