2023 All-MCAC and All-Region 13 Baseball Teams Released

Rochester, MN –

The Minnesota College Athletic Conference (MCAC) and NJCAA Region 13 have announced the All-MCAC and DIII All-Region baseball teams for 2023.

Coaches from the MCAC and Region 13 selected the 36-member All-MCAC and 39-member All-Region teams based on performances from the 2023 season. The members of the All-MCAC Team were automatically named to the All-Region 13 Team and three athletes from North Dakota State College of Science were also added. Since NDSCS is the lone NJCAA DIII college in the Mon-Dak Conference, they are an independent team that plays in the DIII Region 13 Baseball Tournament with the nine MCAC qualifying colleges.

Nick Ibrahim, first baseman and outfielder for Century College, has been named the Region 13 Player of the Year. In 44 games this season, Ibrahim hit .447 with 16 doubles, a triple, and 8 home runs. He had 45 RBI, scored 49 runs, and stole base 7 times. The sophomore from Woodbury, MN had an on-base percentage was .533 and a slugging percentage of .745. In the field, Ibrahim was perfect with 100 put outs and 4 assists on 104 chances, for a fielding percentage of 1.000.
