DALLAS – The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced its District Players of the Year for all nine districts for the 2021 season. This season's honorees include UConn outfielder Kyler Fedko, who took home District 2 Player of the Year honors.
Fedko becomes the school's third NCBWA District Player of the Year (George Springer (2011) and L.J. Mazzilli (2013)) and helped the Huskies to the Big East regular season and tournament championships.
