Rallings Named To West ABCA/Rawlings All-Region First Team
June 16, 2016 | Baseball
The eight ABCA/Rawlings All-Region teams were announced and Washington senior Troy Rallings was named to the west region's first team as a relief pitcher. The right-handed is now eligible for the ABCA/Rawlings All-America Team, which will be announced Saturday, June 18.
Rallings has previously earned recognition as the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, NCBWA District IX Player of the Year, First Team Louisville Slugger and Baseball America All-American, finalist for NCBWA Reliever of the Year and a semifinalist for both the Golden Spikes and Dick Howser Trophy.
He collected 16 saves and posted a 4-1 record in 28 appearances, notching a 0.89 ERA and allowing 32 hits and 12 walks over 61 innings, while striking out 65 batters and holding foes to a .155 clip. Among Rallings' 16 saves, tied for third-most in the country, only one fit the conventions of what a typical closer records – three outs or less. He had eight saves that were four to six outs and six saves that were seven to nine outs.
He leads the nation in WHIP (0.72) and ranks second in ERA (0.89). Rallings helped Washington to a 33-23 overall record, a second-place showing in the Pac-12 and an appearance at the NCAA Nashville Regional.
