CHILLICOTHE, Ohio -- The 2024 All-River States Conference Baseball Teams & Awards were announced Thursday evening during an awards ceremony at VA Memorial Stadium on the opening day of the RSC Baseball Championship. The 12 RSC baseball head coaches voted on the all-conference awards.
The All-RSC First, Second, & Third Teams were selected this year along with the RSC Baseball Player, Pitcher, Freshman, and Coach of the Year. Also recognized were the RSC Gold Glove Team, the RSC Baseball Champions of Character Team, and the RSC Baseball Scholar-Athlete Team.
Mason White of IU Southeast (Ind.) was named the RSC Player of the Year, WVU Tech's Robert Kelley was named the RSC Pitcher of the Year, and Chris Williams of Point Park (Pa.) was named the RSC Freshman of the Year, while Rob Ehlers of Shawnee State (Ohio) was named the RSC Coach of the Year.

A junior from Vienna, Va., Kelley posted a 9-3 record this year in his 13 starts. He recorded a 3.71 earned run average with 111 strikeouts over his 80 innings pitched. The right-hander leads the RSC and is tied for first in the NAIA in strikeouts, while his nine wins rank second in the RSC.

In his first season at Shawnee State, Ehlers led the Bears to a 25-19 record overall and a 17-7 league mark. Ehlers led the Bears to a runner-up finish in the RSC East Division in their first season within the RSC.
The All-RSC First Team recognized 17 players, while the All-RSC Second & Third Teams honored 18 players each. The RSC Gold Glove Team recognized 10 total players with a tie in the voting at second base.
