Zach Rice, West Chester
Key Stats: 4-1 / 2.51 ERA / 32.1 IP
Rice has appeared in six games and started five, pitching his way to four wins for the reigning national champions. But this freshman was no part of that title team, and has infused new blood to a storied program.

Russell Lamovec, Mercyhurst
Key Stats: 2-1 / 1.27 ERA / 45 K

Breton Larose, Lock Haven
Key Stats: 5 APP / 4 SV / 3.60 ERA
The conference leader in saves, Larose has been one of the best back-end relievers in the conference thus far. He has been roughed up in his last couple of outings, but his ability to close out the end of contests is second-to-none right now in the PSAC.

Ashton Raines, Bloomsburg
Key Stats: 4-0 / 2.88 ERA / 22 K
In 25 innings thus far, Raines has been the go-to arm for the Huskies as he has posted a perfect record and has given up one run or less in two of his four starts. His strikeout rate has been great as well, with nearly two dozen in his 25 innings pitched.
