Chris Meyers Named ABCA/Rawlings Third Team All-America

6/21/2021 11:28:00 AM

TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo's Chris Meyers has been named a Third Team All-American by ABCA/Rawlings, the second All-America distinction bestowed upon him since the season ended last month.

The 2021 MAC Player of the Year, Meyers has received much national acclaim for his dominant season. The Miamisburg, Ohio native was named an All-American by Collegiate Baseball on June 3, a day after becoming Toledo's first-ever conference player of the year. Meyers earned first team all-region honors from ABCA/Rawlings last week, putting him in contention for a spot on the organization's All-America team. With his selection, he becomes the first Rocket to earn All-America status from multiple outlets since Mitch Maier in 2003.

Meyers tied the school record with 15 home runs this season while batting .378 and driving in 55 runs, leading the MAC in all three categories, making him the league's first Triple Crown winner since 1998 (Tom Kuempel, Marshall). Meyers also led the conference in slugging percentage (.739) and doubles (18) while ranking second in on-base percentage (.509) and third in runs scored (50). He ended the season 11th in the country in slugging and 16th in on-base percentage. An intimidating presence in the batter's box, Meyers led the MAC in intentional walks with nine. He accumulated 39 walks in 2021, one off the school record of 40 (Andy Stetka, 2001).

One of Toledo's MAC Medal of Excellence recipients, Meyers graduated this spring with a bachelor's degree in finance and a minor in marketing.
