ROCKFORD, Ill. - Rockford University senior outfielder Joseph Stagowski continues to rake in the postseason awards. On Wednesday morning it was announced that Stagowski was chosen as a Second Team All-American by D3baseball.com. This comes after he was selected First Team All-Region by both D3baseball.com and the American Baseball Coaches Association just one day prior. He was also named the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Baseball Position Player of the Year, First Team All-NACC and the Rockford University Co-Male Athlete of the Year. Stagowski becomes the first RU baseball player to earn postseason All-America status since 2019, and he is the first player in the program to be selected Second Team All-America since the 2010 season. The ABCA has not yet released its All-America teams, so it is possible that more awards are still on the way.
