His batting average soared to .377, and he consistently reached base, evidenced by a .461 on-base percentage (OBP), bolstered by 29 walks. Demonstrating his ability to get on base consistently, Alport reached safely in all but two of the 46 games played this season and recorded eight games with three or more hits.

Beyond his hitting prowess, Alport was a dynamic presence on the bases, stealing 15 bases in 18 attempts and scoring 47 runs. Defensively, he was a linchpin in center field, starting every game and showcasing elite defensive skills with a .981 fielding percentage.

Sophomore right fielder Seth Brankey (Salem, Wis.) has also been recognized for an exceptional 2025 campaign, earning Third team All-Region honors from ABCA/Rawlings for his outstanding performance both at the plate and in the field.

Throughout the season, Brankey started all 43 games, amassing impressive offensive numbers. He finished with a robust .364 batting average, collecting 59 hits in 162 at-bats.
