Drew Schutt, a senior infielder for the Red Raider baseball team, has been named to the All-NAIA Ball All-American team. A consistent source of NAIA baseball coverage, NAIA Ball is the only organization to release All-American teams this season due to the CoVID pandemic; a total of 28 players were selected from all of the NAIA institutions across the country.
Schutt was one of 14 players named to the second team and one of two players from the Great Plains Athletic Conference (Jason Munsch-Concordia) recognized on either the 1st / 2nd team.
Schutt was among the GPAC’s leading hitters in the shortened 2020 season, ranking first in runs (24), hits (32), doubles (11), RBIs (34) and total bases (55). He was tied for fifth in home runs (4), eighth in slugging percentage (.714) and ninth in batting average (.416. Schutt was a second team all-conference pick as a junior.
Says Head Coach Brian Wede, “Drew is one of the best pure hitters I have coached in the 16 years I’ve been here. He has an uncanny ability to get the barrel to the baseball and is a very good bad-ball hitter. We are really thankful he was a Raider for what he brought to our team both on and off the diamond and look forward to following his career post Northwestern.
