Frederick Earns GNAC All-Conference and Gold Glove Honors
WINTHROP, Mass.—Freshman Nate Frederick (Worcester, Mass.) of the Anna Maria College baseball team was named to the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) All-Conference Second Team and earned Gold Glove distinction at second base, as announced by the league in Monday afternoon.
Frederick has an impressive rookie season for the AMCATS as he led the team at the plate with a .330 batting average and a team-leading 29 hits. He also led the GNAC in regular-season home runs with four.
He hit safely in 14-straight games between Kings College on March 6th and Johnson & Wales on April 12th. He also had two three-hit games, the first a 3-for-3 effort against Kings (Pa.) and a 3-for-5 performance against UMaine-Presque Isle on March 22nd.
In the field, Frederick held a .935 fielding percentage, making just six errors in the infield for the AMCATS to earn Gold Glove honors. The rookie held a 12-game errorless streak during the season, beginning in Florida in game one against Kings (Pa.) on March 6th and spanning through the April 2nd doubleheader against Suffolk.
Anna Maria's senior catcher Michael Kilcoyne (Worcester, Mass.) was also recognized by the league as the team's All-Sportsmanship team selection.
The AMCATS will conclude the 2015 season on Tuesday and Wednesday with a pair of non-conference games at Becker and against Elms.
