OMAHA, Neb. -
Concord University sophomore Ryan Johnston has been named to the watch
list for the fourth annual Tino Martinez Division II Player of the Year
Award. The list includes 151 of the top athletes from across the nation.
The award is presented to the most outstanding player in DII college

Johnston busted onto the college baseball radar as a freshman in 2012,
hitting .343 (58-for-169) with 36 runs, 10 home runs and 51 RBI in
addition slugging .609 as well as posting a .412 on-base percentage and
five stolen bases. In the field, he earned a Rawlings/ABCA Gold Glove
after registering a .997 fielding percentage. In three games this
season, Johnston has driven in two runs and scored another.
Initial nominations for the award were made by baseball sports
information contacts, coaches and media members. A panel of media,
coaches and sports information officers was polled to finalize the
candidates and determine the winner. A fan Internet vote also
contributes to the final vote.
Past winners of the Award included Nathan Minnich (Shepherd), Chase Larsson (Cameron) and Bryan Fogle (Erskine).

in the CIAA-WVIAC Challenge this weekend. Concord will play Chowan 4:00
