KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Christian College Athletic Association announced its 2022 Baseball Scholar-Athletes at its awards banquet held at the Kansas City Urban Youth Academy as the Evangels placed a program-record 13 on the esteemed list.

Senior relief pitcher Joshua Fernandez became the program's first ever three-time honoree while joining him on the list were Yan Ely Adames, Gabriel Aponte, Cameron Brown, Andrew Enwiya, Andres Gonzalez, Caden Harris, Kelton Lachelt, Isaiah Leon, Ryan Reed, Zane Robeaux, Devon Villanueva and Payton Walk.

Adames, Enwiya and Leon are receiving their second academic honors of the year after the three players were selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team.

For the first time in program history, Mid-America Christian boasted the most representatives of any institution in the NCCAA, drawing even with Ottawa (Ariz.) with its 13 honorees. Previously the most NCCAA Scholar-Athletes the Evangels had honored in a single-season was in 2019 with 10 recipients.
