The outfielder is the first Big Green player to earn all-region honors in five years
HANOVER, N.H. — The American Baseball Coaches Association revealed its Rawlings/NCAA Division I All-Region Teams today, and Dartmouth outfielder Kade Kretzschmar was selected for the Northeast All-Region Second Team. He is the first Big Green player to earn all-region honors since 2017.
The 2022 Ivy League Player of the Year, Kretzschmar ranked among the top six in the Ivy League in numerous offensive categories, including triples (5, first), RBIs (46, third), total bases (106, third), slugging (.635, third) OPS (1.041, third), average (.353, fifth), doubles (16, sixth) and hits (59, ninth), while also launching seven home runs. In conference games alone, the 6-2, 205-pound senior from Carlsbad, California, led the Ancient Eight with an OPS of 1.249 and 29 runs while sitting second in average (.405), hits (34), doubles (12), total bases (65), slugging percentage (.774) and RBIs (25).
Kretzschmar had a 25-game streak of reaching base in the middle of the season and came up big in several key moments, such as his two-run homer in the seventh of the Ivy League opener that broke a 3-3 tie and lifted Dartmouth to a 5-3 victory over Brown. His final round-tripper came in the final series of the season against Columbia (the eventual conference champion) on a two-out, three-run blast that gave the Green a 7-5 lead en route to an 11-8 triumph. That win snapped the Lions' 19-game winning streak and briefly kept Dartmouth's postseason hopes alive.
Notes: The last Dartmouth player to earn all-region honors was pitcher Beau Sulser, who has pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles this season … Kretzschmar was one of only two Ivy Leaguers to earn all-region recognition, joining Penn third baseman Wyatt Henseler who was chosen for the East Region First Team.
