Derek Toadvine has been named to the ten-player 2013 Mid-American Conference All-Tournament Team, as announced by the conference at the conclusion of the tournament on Sunday.
The junior second baseman did his job as the leadoff man for the Golden Flashes, batting a team-high .471 with eight hits and five runs scored in four games during tournament play. Toadvine also led the team with a .550 on-base percentage and six stolen bases. He walked once and was hit by a pitch twice while only striking out two times to help those numbers.
Toadvine picked up a hit in every game during the tournament, including two three-hit performances with three stolen bases in each of Kent State's wins. As a starter at second base all four games, he did not commit an error while registering five putouts and 15 assists.
This is the second such award for Toadvine in his Kent State career, as he was named to the All-NCAA Championship Austin Regional Team in 2011 as a freshman.
