It marks the second year in a row that a Rowan player has captured the award as Phil Sedalis received it in 2025.
 
Davis has established himself as one of the top hitters in the nation as he leads the NCAA  in RBI per game (2.05) and ranks second with 84 runs batted in. The junior shortstop is hitting .411 with 74 hits, 51 runs, 18 doubles, 15 home runs and a slugging percentage of .783. Included in Davis' total of home runs are two grand slams that were hit in consecutive games in the NCAA Regional.

Kreyenhagen, a sophomore, has posted a team-best 8-1 record in 11 starts, and in 71.1 innings, has limited the opponents to a .222 batting average. The righthander has 46 strikeouts and two complete games on the season, including one in the 9-5 win over Randolph-Macon that clinched the NCAA Glassboro Super Regional title. It marks his first-ever All-Region selection.
