TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State starting pitcher Sean Manaea picked up another postseason honor this week as the Sycamore southpaw was named Second Team All-Midwest Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA).

The award is voted on by the 32 head coaches from schools within the ABCA's Midwest region. Manaea is one of six representatives from the Missouri Valley Conference, joining: Mike Tauchman (Bradley), Eric Aguilera (Illinois State), Dan Savas (Illinois State), Nick Petree (Missouri State) and Jake Peter (Creighton).

Manaea became the second-highest Major League Baseball draft selection in Indiana State history earlier this month, when the 6-foot-5 lefthander was taken with the 34th overall pick by the Kansas City Royals on June 6.

The Wanatah, Ind., native set an Indiana State single-season record with a 1.47 ERA in 2013, posting a 5-4 record over 13 starts. Manaea fanned a team-leading 93 batters in 73.1 innings pitched, ranking third in the NCAA with an 11.4 strikeouts per nine innings average. The Sycamore southpaw has led the team in strikeouts in all three of his seasons at Indiana State (2011-13), finishing his junior season with 290 career strikeouts, good for third in school history.

Manaea broke onto the national scene during the summer of 2012 when he played with the Hyannis Harbor Hawks of the Cape Cod Baseball League. He earned both the B.F.C. Whitehouse Top Pitcher and the Robert A. McNeese Outstanding Pro Prospect awards from the CCBL, totaling a 5-1 record and a 1.22 ERA with a league-leading 85 strikeouts in 57.1 innings pitched.
