LAKELAND, Fla. (May 16, 2025) - The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced their All-Region award winners on Friday afternoon. Among the honorees were two Rollins Tars, seniors
Mason Wilson and
Nick Berger.
Wilson was the biggest bat in the Tars' lineup throughout the spring. He was the only player to see action in all 49 games this season, with the majority of those starts coming from behind home plate, leading to his first-team selection at catcher. Wilson went 65-182 in the batter's box for a .357 average. He also reached base at a .456 clip and slugged .714 for an OPS of 1.170. Wilson was an extra-base hit machine, stroking 15 doubles, a triple, and 16 home runs this season. He had four games with two-home runs, and earned a pair of SSC Player of the Week awards, as well as one NCBWA South Region Player of the Week award. He was also named first-team All-SSC earlier this week. Following his stellar season, Wilson's name is now dotted all over the Rollins record book for season output, including the second-highest slugging percentage, the fourth-most home runs, and the fourth-most RBI (69) in a campaign.
Berger finds himself on the All-Region team for the second time, following his first-team nod last year. The Winter Park native was responsible for more than one-third of the Tars' wins this season, going 10-3 on the mound in 14 starts. He led the team in wins, WHIP (1.20), innings (84.2), strikeouts (51), and opponent average (.261). He turned in seven quality starts this season, and had eight outings allowing one or zero runs. Berger was second in the SSC in wins and fourth in innings, and was named first-team All-SSC this year. The highlight of his season came on April 5 against Barry when he went the distance in a five-hit shutout of the Buccaneers, which earned him the NCWBA National Pitcher of the Week award. He was also SSC Pitcher of the Week three times.
The NCBWA selected the following as the top award winners:
Player of the Year: Cole Fowler, Lynn
Pitcher of the Year: CJ Williams, Tampa
Coach of the Year: Joe Urso, Tampa
