New Haven, Conn. (5/6/26) Wilmington University senior second baseman Tyler Pirrung has been selected as the 2026 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Baseball Player of the Year. Wilmington senior right-hander Scott Borgmann was named the 2026 CACC Pitcher of the Year. Pirrung and Borgmann, who were also both voted onto to the All-CACC First Team, headline the all-conference teams and major award winners announced today by CACC Commissioner Dan Mara. The voting was conducted by the conference's 12 head coaches.

Caldwell University freshman third baseman Justin Levine is the 2026 CACC Baseball Rookie of the Year. Levine was also elected to the All-CACC First Team. Wilmington head coach Brian August was chosen the Athletic Solutions Coach of the Year by his peers, while Lincoln University will receive the 2026 Baseball Team Sportsmanship Award.

Pirrung, from Newark, Del., is batting .396 over 49 games with 17 doubles, three triples, four home runs, 56 runs scored, and 50 runs batted in. He has also stolen a CACC-best 38 bases in 41 attempts. Pirrung ranks third in the conference in batting average and second in runs scored. He had league highs of 47 runs scored and 54 hits in 33 conference games.

Borgmann, of Parkton, Md., was elected All-CACC as a relief pitcher. In 16 appearances, all out of the bullpen, he is 6-0 with five saves, a 1.43 earned run average, and a .171 opponent batting average. In 50 1/3 innings, he has allowed 31 hits and 17 walks. His 70 strikeouts are third in the conference.

Levine is second in the CACC with a .408 batting average and tops the conference with a .537 on-base percentage. In 35 games the Staten Island, N.Y., native collected 11 doubles, five home runs, 26 runs scored, 28 RBI, and six stolen bases. His .660 slugging percentage is eighth in the league and first among freshmen.

August guided the Wildcats (36-15, 25-8 CACC) to the CACC regular-season title, the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament, and a sweep of their first-round playoff series to advance to this weekend's four-team double-elimination final. Wilmington is the No. 4 team in the most recent NCAA Division II Committee East Region ranking. August, who has led the Wildcats since 2005, is the CACC Coach of the Year for the fourth time (2010, 2015, 2022).

Lincoln, led by head coach Vince Connor, was the coaches' choice for demonstrating class and character throughout the regular season.

For Dominican, SS Fraelyn Rosario, OF Erick Diaz, and DH Kevin Hirsch were all named to the All-Conference First Team.

Rosario hit .342 with four homers and 42 RBI's while scoring 36 runs and stealing five bases. Rosario was named CACC Player of the Week and NCBWA East Region Hitter of the Week one time each.

Diaz hit .379 with 17 homers (a single season program record) with 48 RBIs, 52 runs scored, and 21 stolen bases.
