EASTLAKE, OH – The Johns Hopkins baseball program earned major accolades this week, as four student-athletes received ABCA/Rawlings All-America honors, announced Thursday. Seniors
Dillon Souvignier and
Shawn Steuerer headlined the group, being named to the ABCA/Rawlings All-America First Team.
Jimmy Stevens and
Drew Grumbles were named to the All-America Second Team. The four All-America nods mark the most honorees Hopkins has had in program history.
Souvignier capped off his senior season with his first First Team selection. The senior slugger leads the team in hits (77), slashing .423/.493/.780. He ranks second in RBIs (62), runs scored (59) and triples (3). He ended the regular season on a 13-game hitting streak, eight-game multi-hit streak and reached base in 38 of 39 games.
Steuerer earned his first career All-America honor, earning a First Team nod after posting a .375/.434/.729 line with 72 hits, 55 RBIs, 17 doubles, 17 home runs and a team-leading 65 runs. The Wellington, FL native reached base safely in 11 of the last 12 regular season games and made history with a two-run homer against Swarthmore by becoming the only Blue Jay and fifth active Division III player to reach 200 career RBIs and runs scored.
Stevens received his first career All-America honor, landing on the Second Team after a dominant stretch in conference play. He slashed .371/.444/.914 and led the team with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs in league games. The New Albany, OH native leads the team in home runs (18) and RBIs (65) overall. In both title games – regional and super regional – Stevens combined to go 6-for-10 with three home runs, two doubles and eight RBIs.
In a breakout sophomore campaign, Grumbles emerged as the Blue Jays' ace, earning All-America Second Team honors. He went a perfect 8-0 with a 1.75 ERA, allowing just 13 earned runs over 67.0 innings while striking out a team and conference-best 73 batters. The Maumelle, AR native struck out a career-high 11 in a win over Mount Union and spent much of the season leading all of Division III in ERA. He currently ranks seventh nationally with a 1.75 ERA.
