AMHERST, Mass - Three members of the Amherst College Baseball team were named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings All-Region Teams, it was announced earlier today. First-year pitcher Saahi Jetti (Des Moines, Iowa) was named to the Second Team All-Region, and junior outfielder Charlie LaFreniere (Norwalk, Conn.) and senior captain infielder Tyler McCord (Langhorne, Pa.) were both named to Third Team All-Region.

Jetti was named the NESCAC Rookie of the Year and got a First Team nod after a breakout first season in the Pioneer Valley. He played his way to two NESCAC Pitcher of the Week honors, as well as a NCBWA Pitcher of the Week and Rookie of the Week award this season, and consistently put in big games in high pressure situations. Jetti was also named to D3Baseball.com's All-Region Second Team. The first-year threw his best game of the year with their season on the line in the NESCAC Quarterfinal series, tossing an eight-strikeout, three-walk, complete game no-hitter. That was the first nine-inning no-hitter thrown by an Amherst pitcher since 2000. He finished the season third in the conference in ERA (2.39), second in wins (8), and first in innings pitched (71.2), complete games (5), strikeouts (67), and opponent batting average (.199). 

McCord earned his first All-Region nod right after receiving his first All-NESCAC selection as a senior, closing his career with his best collegiate season. The Pennsylvania native finished second on the team, and 11th in the NESCAC in batting average with a .360 mark, in addition to a .460 slugging percentage and top-20 on base percentage in the country (.460). But where McCord really shined was as a contact hitter, recording 58 hits (third in the NESCAC), including 12 doubles (seventh in the NESCAC), and scoring 39 runs (eighth in the NESCAC). He was a vital piece of the Mammoth defense as well, with a top-25 fielding percentage in the conference this season. 

LaFreniere garnered his first All-Region nod after collecting his third All-NESCAC selection, and first to the First Team, after his best season as a Mammoth. He finished the season leading the team with a .379 batting average (seventh in the NESCAC), a .975 OPS (15th in the NESCAC), and a .508 slugging percentage. He also did a great job on defense, putting up a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage with 56 putouts and two assists on the season.  

The Mammoths closed out the 2026 season in the NESCAC Championship where they fell short to Tufts, after having made their way to the final game through the consolation bracket. Amherst finished 26-14 overall and 7-5 in the NESCAC.
