Louisiana has produced at least one All-Region player over the last seven seasons
LAFAYETTE – Sophomore Hayden Cantrelle was once again honored for his stellar sophomore campaign when he was named to the ABCA Central All-Region First Team, the national organization announced on Wednesday.
Â
Louisiana has now had at least one student-athlete named to an ABCA Region Team in every season since 2013, the most recent being Colten Schmidt in 2018.
Â
A First Team All-Sun Belt performer, Cantrelle started in all 59 games at shortstop and led the team with a .930 OPS, 119 total bases, 56 runs scored and 28 stolen bases. His 28 stolen bags ranked him tops in the Sun Belt and 25th in the NCAA.
Â
On the year, Cantrelle produced 20 multi-hit games, tied for the second most on the team, and put together a 14-game hitting streak, the second longest on the team. He also opened the season with a 34-game reached safely streak.
Â
On March 16, the Preseason All-Sun Belt selection became the 10th player in program history to record three home runs in the same game in a 16-10 victory over Little Rock. Two games later, he put together another unforgettable performance, becoming the fourth player in school history to hit for the cycle in an 8-3 victory over Northwestern State.
Â
For his efforts, he earned his first Sun Belt Player of the Week honor and his second LSWA Player of the Week award.
