Tyler White is the first Catamount to earn Southern Conference Baseball Player of the Year honors since the 2007 season, and becomes the 15th Catamount to earn Player of the Year accolades since Western Carolina joined the Southern Conference.

A native of Forest City, N.C., White finished the regular season batting .357 including a team-leading .416 in SoCon play - the second-best average in league.

White led the SoCon with 149 total bases, a league-leading 25 doubles, just one shy of WCU's single-season record.

This season, White completed a career-long, 11-game hitting streak and reached base safely a career-best, 23-straight games at one stretch. He reached base safely in 26-consecutive SoCon games dating back to March 15 and recorded base hits in 19 of his last 22 games entering the conference tournament.

Congratulations to Tyler, the Southern Conference Baseball Player of the Year.
